UFC News - Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov reportedly in jeopardy
Conor McGregor is reportedly in danger of losing his proposed title fight with lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov to Tony Ferguson.
That's according to MMA Team Dagestan, who broke the news of the biggest fight in UFC history being in the works before Nurmagomedov did.
On Wednesday night, they tweeted: "The fight that hid four times very soon can be reassigned for the fifth time. The thing is that @TheNotoriousMMA does not sign a contract.
“If this does not happen then the UFC officially announced @TeamKhabib vs. @TonyFergusonXT.”
McGregor, 30, hasn't set foot inside the Octagon since claiming the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 205, a card where he became the promotion's first simultaneous two-weight world champion.

Darren Till has claimed the UFC brass have offered him a title fight with welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

“That’s what it looks like to me and I’ve been on the UFC’s case about it. UFC want me to fight him, but he will not accept it.
“[UFC] didn’t mention a date or anything, but that’s the fight they wanted to make and he obviously isn’t into it.”

UFC News - Anderson Silva talks Georges St-Pierre super-fight
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has revealed he’s open to having a super-fight with Georges St-Pierre, a bout which was high on many mixed martial arts fans’ wish lists in the late 2000’s.
“Anything is possible in the UFC, man,” Silva said of a possible bout with St-Pierre in an interview with MMA Fighting.
“It’s a very eclectic company, with a broad vision of the sport.
“They are going through a new moment, a moment of entertainment, so anything can happen.”
Silva, 43, will be eligible to compete from November 10 onwards after the United States Anti-Doping Agency deemed that his recent failed drug test was the result of him ingesting a tainted supplement.
