Khabib Nurmagomedov seems not to want to return to the Octagons, Well, although Dana White has tried to convince him to star in one more fight, the Russian has decided to convey his last word only to the president of the UFC, who, in the words of the still lightweight champion, will inform the fans at the end of February .
Even Khabib, who said goodbye to mixed martial arts last October after his fight against Gaethje, now has put Poirier as the fighter who should be division champion, as he maintains that the American has fought against the best.
“Poirier deserves to be champion, that’s my personal opinion; just look at who he has fought against. The lightweight division has always been the most competitive, the most interesting, with big stars. I believe that the intrigue will appear in the lightweight division as soon as they decide the fight for the title and the eliminatory, “he said in an interview for Match TV.
Dana will report her decision at the end of February
Apparently, Khabib and Dana will have one more meeting, and although Khabib has never given any indication of wanting to return to the Octagons, both the fans and White want Nurmagomedov to have one more fight.
“As for my career as a wrestler, I don’t want to go into details. Dana is an honest person; we always had an honest relationship. I think he will let the media know the message I sent him a week ago. “
“It’s not a secret. I just told him how I would like things to develop, not only in relation to myself but in relation to the lightweight division in general. He told me (White): ‘When I fly to Las Vegas at the end of February, we’ll sit down and talk. ”Dana needs to make some kind of decision. But whatever it is, I will agree with her. “
