Khamzat Chimaev is still willing to bring Conor McGregor into his training camp, even if the Irishman is to leapfrog him for a UFC title opportunity.
The unbeaten Swede has become one of the fastest rising stars in the UFC with his quick wins over former BAMMA champions Rhys McKee and John Phillips, veteran Gerald Meerschaert and top 15-ranked Jingliang Li. And if he can defeat Gilbert Burns at UFC 273 next month, he would be within touching distance of a shot at Kamaru Usman's welterweight title.
But that would be put on the back burner if Conor McGregor is to sneak back into a fight for the belt on his return to the octagon later this year as he has teased. The Irishman has indicated that he will be pushing for an opportunity at an unprecedented third world title when he comes back, which would put the division on hold temporarily.
However, Chimaev has still offered to have McGregor join him and new best pal Darren Till in their new training camp, saying that it's simply a "business" issue if the Irishman takes his shot at the belt. "When I finish Gilbert Burns, I think I am the next for title," Chimaev told fans in a video on his YouTube channel.
"But this is the business. Who is famous, makes more money, they choose them. I understand that.
