https://www.rt.com/sport/415699-ufc-russia-moscow-khabib/ The first-ever UFC show in Russia is set to happen as early as September, as the event has already been scheduled in one of the biggest arenas in Moscow, RT Sport has learned from the venue. Staff at Moscow's Olympiyskiy Stadium (Olympic Stadium), which has a capacity of up to 35,000 spectators, confirmed to RT Sport that a UFC show is booked at the venue for September 14 and 15.
If Conor comes back and fights Khabib I'd feel bad for Tony. The interim champ should get first crack. But this would be insane. Should also note that the capacity for MMA is supposedly 22,000, not 35,000.
Win or lose, Conor has got big brass balls if he goes to Russia to fight Khabib. Dude knows how to get paid...if this rumor is true...
DFW says McGregor wants to return in September. He also says if it takes that long McGregor will be stripped.
