Russian promoter Kamil Gadjiev in an interview with , he cited the conditions under which the UFC can organize a fight between the Irishman Conor McGregor and current lightweight belt support Islam Makhachev .
On June 1 at UFC 302 in Newark, Makhachev will defend his title in a fight with American Dustin Poirier. From 2016 to 2018, the champion in the same weight category was McGregor, who lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018. McGregor has now announced his return and is set to fight in June against Michael Chandler.
— On June 29, Conor McGregor will face Michael Chandler, and it will be his first fight since July 2021. What chance would you give the UFC to try to match Makhachev against McGregor if Conor won in July? Just give the probability as a percentage.
— The probability is not small, because we have to look for options for Makhachev. And there is a story here. A story of war, a story of hatred. Yes, there is Arman [Царукян], it’s revenge. There’s Leon Edwards, it’s a purely sporting story. Let’s say Islam wins two belts, but there is nothing else. No one created a background. And that’s why Conor here is a good decision. I would say that the probability of such a fight in 2025 is 20%,” Gadjiev told .
