Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz spoke recently with TMZ Sports, and said the UFC approached him with an offer to have “The Eagle” and Conor McGregor appear on The Ultimate Fighter as opposing coaches.

Last week Dana White called me, said Abdelaziz. And he said ‘Ali, what do you think about Khabib and Conor doing The Ultimate Fighter on ESPN?’ One, this is breaking news. And I said ‘Man, you know what? I don’t know. I’ll think about it’ and he said ‘Of course, vice versa if Justin wins, right?’ Khabib vs. Conor on The Ultimate Fighter, coach, he would have probably went to the hospital because we’d beat his ass in front of his whole team. Or Justin Gaethje versus him, right?

I talked to Khabib yesterday and he said ‘This man is human trash, he’s like garbage. He said ‘When you touch s***, you smell [like] s***.’ He said ‘[McGregor] hasn’t earned to fight me. He hasn’t earned to fight me.’

You can f***ing forget about doing The Ultimate Fighter with Khabib. It’s over. Khabib is like ‘How do you guys ask me? How can I even be in the same room as him? I said Khabib turned it down, he’s not going to do The Ultimate Fighter with him any more.

Hey, if you want to do The Ultimate Fighter against Kamaru Usman, you can. If you want to do it with Khamzat Chimaev you can. And if Justin chooses to, you can too. You can forget about Khabib, you can forget about the rematch. It’s done, dead, never.

UG, do you think Khabib and Conor will every rematch, given that “The Eagle” plans to unify the belt vs. Justin Geathje at UFC 254 on October 24 on Fight Island, and then fight one last time, ideally vs. GSP with the intention of retiring 30-0.
