Undefeated ex-MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov made it clear that he left the sport not because he had no one to fight.
“I didn’t leave because I didn’t have anyone to fight. It’s wrong to compare me to them [действующими топовыми легковесами] and tell if I’ll be back. Leave Khabib alone. Let’s talk about Islam [Махачеве] and Charles Oliveira. This will be a good fight, ”Nurmagomedov said at a press conference that took place on December 13 in Moscow.
“Ideally, it would be good if Oliveira wins Oliveira, Islam wins Beneil, and the winners fight at the end of the year in October. There will be a space battle. That intrigue will return when Khabib fought interim champions, as well as Conor.
Khabib has 29 wins in 29 fights in MMA. Nurmagomedov’s last fight was in October 2020 in Abu Dhabi. Then the Russian strangled Justin Gati and announced his retirement.
