Conor McGregor Ready To Step In For Tony Ferguson Or Khabib Nurmagomedov

– In an interview with The Mac Life (via MMAWeekly), Conor McGregor noted that he is ready to step in for Tony Ferguson or Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 249 should one have to pull out of their lightweight fight.

“Likely something will happen there and I’ll be ready to stand in for that belt. It’s happened multiple times. It’s been scheduled four times in a row. This is the fifth. I’m back in my old frame of mind. I just want consistency. I want competition. It’s what I love to do. I want the gold. I’m after the gold. 155, 170, they’re the belts I’m chasing after now.”
