“Please explain to me why no one from the UFC’s lightweight division is calling my name?” the Russian wrote on social media. “Hey UFC, I don’t care who I’m fighting – I just want to fight!”
Nurmagomedov also commented on rumors that the UFC wants to re-schedule his bout with Corey Sandhagen for February 10. According to the Russian, at the moment the American is not ready to accept a fight with him.
“We can meet him in the future, but now I want to fight. I don’t see the point in waiting for him. I need to be more active. I’ve already lost a lot of time. We’ll fight him when he’s ready.”
Umar Nurmagomedov, 27, is riding a four-fight win streak in the UFC, having knocked out Raoni Barcelos as early as the first round in his last fight.
