Conor McGregor‘s comeback fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov is the “biggest fight in UFC history”, says Dana White.McGregor will fight Nurmagomedov for the Russian’s lightweight title in Las Vegas on 6 October. “We knew this was the fight to make, ” UFC president White said. “I believe it is the biggest fight in the history of the company, other than the Mayweather fight. This thing is going to be massive.”Asked if he was concerned following McGregor’s arrest and subsequent deal with US prosecutors, White said “Conor came and did what he did and didn’t expect the results that happened. I think we are not going to have any problems with these guys.” McGregor, who has a 21-3 UFC record, became the first fighter to hold two titles simultaneously when he beat Eddie Alvarez in his last UFC fight.He then fought former five-weight world boxing champion Mayweather in one of the richest boxing bouts of all time. “Conor is living proof of pound for pound, ” added White, “He is willing to fight anyone in the world who thinks they are better than him – it’s what makes him so popular, this is another fight to cement his legacy as one of the best ever.”Photo Credit: Getty
