Khabib Nurmagomedov has told Conor McGregor to notch up a 10-fight win streak before he can earn a rematch.
The bitter rivals clashed last October when Nurmagomedov retained his UFC lightweight title by fourth-round submission.
They then became embroiled in a post-fight brawl which landed both fighters with fines and suspensions.
McGregor has not fought since having been caught up in several legal controversies while Nurmagomedov will defend his belt against Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 next weekend.
And the Russian is in no mood to offer the former champion a second shot.
"This guy has to come back and make nine or 10-fight win streak, then we gonna fight," he told ESPN.
"Maybe people who watch this interview, they think, 'Oh, he thinks this, but when the UFC asks this guy to fight Conor for millions of dollars, this guy is gonna take it.' No; fight, come back and show who you are.
"I want to fight real guys - Dustin Poirier, Tony Ferguson, maybe if one of the greatest athletes ever, Georges St-Pierre, wants to fight. I want to fight those guys. I don't want to fight with a guy who never wins."
Nurmagomedov also dismissed any suggestion that his rivalry with McGregor had been put to bed with his victory.
"Even [the October fight] did not finish it," he added.
"Just to smash people is not enough. I talk about just smash only him? It's not enough. We have to smash all his team. This is what I think before the fight. This is what I say to my team, 'Hey, tonight, we're going to war; this is not about a fight.'
"It will never be finished, ever. Even if we see [each other] somewhere, we're going to fight, 100 percent.
"It doesn't matter if someone go to jail or something like this. I'm not scared about this - they go to hospital and we go to police. That's it."
