UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired in October, said that Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will challenge his title.
Recall that the fight between McGregor and Poirier will take place on January 23 at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi.
“There has always been competition in the lightweight division. All events in 2020 in the UFC are related to lightweight. First, the return of Conor, then the fight between Gaethje and Ferguson. After that, the return of Poirier. Then my fight with Gaethje. This weight has always been interesting and competitive.
My belt will be taken by the winner of the Dustin-Conor pair, ”Nurmagomedov said.
