"I don't think he gonna come back," Nurmagomedov said of McGregor, alluding to McGregor's prolonged absence from the Octagon, per TMZ Sports. "When's the last time Conor compete in MMA? Long time. He's boxing guy."

Nurmagomedov is set to fight Tony Ferguson for the interim lightweight title at UFC 223 on April 7.
