Conor McGregor Next Fight Odds: Khabib Rematch, Nate Diaz Top Latest Lines

Timothy RappOct 8, 2018

Conor McGregor lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in four rounds by choke submission Saturday night, but according to OddsShark.com, the most likely opponent for his next match is another showdown with Khabib

The betting site gave the rematch -155 odds (bet $155 to win $100) ahead of rematches with Nate Diaz (+130) and Jose Aldo (+900) and fights against Georges St-Pierre (+375) and Tyron Woodley (+1800).

Without question, a rematch with Nurmagomedov would be an enormous draw, especially considering the build before the fight and the utter chaos after it. Nurmagomedov rushed out of the Octagon following the win and a brawl ensured. In addition, McGregor fought with members of Nurmagomedov's camp on the opposite side of the Octagon after the match.

"It's bad," UFC President Dana White said of the brawl, per Arash Markazi of ESPN.com. "There's gonna be an investigation by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and ... there's gonna be big-money fines, and these guys are in big trouble. Again, we need to see how this plays out. Nobody has ever done that; nobody should ever do that."

That marred an otherwise dominant performance from Nurmagomedov, who imposed his will upon McGregor in the match, using his superior wrestling to slowly and methodically wear down McGregor before defeating him with a rear choke. 

And while Saturday's brawl was decried by White, it certainly set the stage for what would be an incredibly anticipated potential rematch between the fighters. UFC dubbed this fight as "Bad Blood," playing up the heated build to the fight. It's hard to imagine the organization wouldn't take a similar approach hyping the rematch. 

What remains to be seen is whether that would even be a title fight. It's possible Nurmagomedov could be stripped of his belt if he's suspended for his actions. Still, there's no other potential McGregor fight that UFC fans would want to see more than a rematch with Nurmagomedov.

The bad blood remains, after all.

"He talk about my religion. He talk about my country. He talk about my father,” Nurmagomedov said after the match, per Cindy Boren of the Washington Post. "This is a respect sport, this is not a trash-talking sport … You cannot talk about religion, you cannot talk about a nation, you cannot talk about this stuff. For me, this is very important."
