\"KhabibUFC President Dana White<\/strong> surprised the media and a number of fighters at a press conference last week when they played a promo confirming that the much anticipated fight<\/a> between Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov will take place on October 6 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. <\/p>\n

Combat sports fans were expecting the UFC to organized a world tour to get McGregor and Nurmagomedov to promote their fight which is being billed as the biggest MMA fight in the history of the sport. <\/p>\n

McGregor is a master on the mike and fight fans had a freak show during the McGregor vs. Mayweather world tour in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a statement, White said <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have time for a world tour. These guys are going to fight the first week of October. Both guys are going to go into camp. We\u2019ll do something fun, we\u2019ll do some different stuff<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While there isn’t enough time to organize a world tour, the UFC is not going to waste any opportunity to promote the right. Top UFC executives including Dana White will get together on August 6 to brainstorm and work out a media schedule to promote this fight.<\/p>\n
