Khabib Nurmagomedov has more demands for Conor McGregor if the two are to meet in the Octagon again.
The current lightweight champion said McGregor can't just return to action and gain a victory to earn a rematch with his UFC 229 foe, the Irishman must go on a lengthy winning streak.
"As for a rematch, to fight for a belt in the UFC, I remember I had something like nine or 10 fights. If he wins 10 fights in a row, then that's completely possible," Nurmagomedov said, according to The Associated Press.
The undefeated champion defeated McGregor by fourth-round submission last October. McGregor hasn't fought since the loss.
