UFC President Dana White was speaking to the website and revealed McGregor's plans.
"You know what Conor told me? He said, ‘I want Khabib in Russia!'" White said.
"Isn’t he (expletive) awesome? He’s like, ‘I want Khabib, in Russia.’ He’s awesome. Conor McGregor is a (expletive) unicorn. There’s nothing like him. He’s working on boxing Floyd Mayweather and then he’s talking about fighting Khabib in Russia right after."
The two fighters have some history between them with a video released showing them clashing backstage before UFC 205.
