Conor McGregor snubbed for Khabib Nurmagomedov fight as bear-wrestling star wants GSP

CONOR MCGREGOR lost his shot at UFC title by attacking Khabib Nurmagomedov’s bus and the bear-wrestling star will now hunt down Georges St-Pierre instead.
The Notorious and a gang of pals jumped the Dagestan icon’s coach in New York in April and was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief.

McGregor, 29, will appear in court in Brooklyn on June 14 to explain his actions at the Barclays Center and could be banned from US if he’s convicted of any of the charges.
UFC boss Dana White was sickened at first but has gradually appeared to forgive the Irishman and is already talking about pitting the warring rivals against each other inside the octagon.
But Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has warned McGregor and MMA fight fans that the former champion has bullied his way to the back of the queue.
He said: “We believe the fight to make is the Georges St-Pierre fight at 155 pounds.

“Khabib wants to fight for legacy and not for a soap opera drama show and we think Conor doesn’t deserve this opportunity.
“The guy hasn’t fought in almost two years. Why does he deserve to fight for the title?

“He should get his ass back in the line and work his way up.
“There’s only one reason Khabib wants to fight him: to make him pay for what he did [in Brooklyn]. For Khbaib, it’s not only about money. It’s about disciplining him.
“That being said, UFC should be talking to Georges, not Conor.”
Sadly for Khabib, Canadian hero GSP – who choked Michael Bisping’s middleweight title off of him in November – is not in the market for a fight.

St-Pierre swiftly dropped the title due to medical problems and still fears another comeback would worsen the problem.
He said: ““I’m not ready to fight yet.
“I need to wait until all the symptoms of my ulcer stop.
“It’s much better than it was but it’s not 100 percent yet.
“If I try to return for a training camp for a fight it will amplify and go back to what it was in the beginning. I need to get over this first for my own health and safety.”
