Khabib Nurmagomedov wants to fight Tony Ferguson next and has no interest in a Conor McGregor rematch.
The UFC lightweight champion takes on Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi on September but there is already speculation over his next fight and another potential showdown with McGregor.
But Russian star Khabib says McGregor is not even as good as Poirier and is fed up of talking about fighting him again.

"I don't understand why you ask about this guy, when did he win the last time?" Nurmagomedov said about McGregor.
"Why do we keep talking about this guy? This guy don't train more than three years. We keep talking about this guy."
Khabib added: "I think maybe right now Dustin is a more complete MMA fighter than him.

"Because he beat a lot of good guys in the lightweight division and I don't remember when Conor won in the lightweight division. I think he only beat [Eddie] Alvarez and he have only one win in the lightweight division in a long, long time.
"That's why I think Dustin Poirier is a much better fighter than him."
When asked about his next opponent, Khabib added: "There's only Tony Ferguson. Of course, I think he deserves it. Who else? Nobody. Only Tony Ferguson I think."
Khabib is heavy favourite to beat Poirier next weekend in the Middle East, and challenged the 30-year-old American to bring his speed and power.

The lightweight champion said: "Every fight begins standing on the feet. And then, we are going to watch what I do. Of course, I want to feel his speed and I want to feel his power.
"We begin standing then we will see what I am going to do. Nobody knows. Fight is a fight. My plan is to finish this guy, that is what I want. We will see."
