Khabib: “If Shlemenko becomes the Eagle FC champion, then he will be signed to the UFC”

Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his opinion about former Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko.

“If Shlemenko becomes the EFC champion, most likely he will be signed to the UFC,” Khabib said at a press conference in Moscow.

Shlemenko, 37, is currently a fighter in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Eagle FC league. Shlemenko is expected to fight for the Eagle FC middleweight title next March.
