Following the information of his UFC light-weight title protection towards interim champion Justin Gaethje, Khabib Nurmagomedov laid out his grand plan to succeed in the 30-Zero mark in a brief touch upon the UFC’s Instagram account.
UFC president Dana White just lately advised ESPN that he would let Khabib select his remaining opponent, with the Russian seemingly focusing on an ideal skilled file of 30-Zero earlier than hanging up his gloves.
“It’s the final combat of his profession. The man’s been nice,” White defined.
“He’s been nice to the corporate, nice to the game. I like Khabib quite a bit. I might do something Khabib wished to do.”
In a later interview with CNN, White revealed Khabib would face Gaethje in a title unification battle on October 24, and the UFC’s Instagram account posted a graphic making that matchup official.
However then Khabib added extra intrigue to his private state of affairs by posting a remark to the UFC publish, including merely, “October – Justin. April – GSP.”
Each Khabib and St-Pierre are considered eager on the matchup, however UFC officers have beforehand been cool on the thought, with some suggesting that the potential of St-Pierre defeating Khabib would trigger extra injury than the large consideration the combat itself would carry.
But when that combat was to be the ultimate matchup of the Russian’s profession, the injury to the UFC light-weight division could be minimized. Certainly, the combat may even be agreed at a catchweight, with Nurmagomedov relinquishing his light-weight title previous to retirement as an undefeated champion.
It stays to be seen whether or not the combat will develop into a actuality, and Khabib faces a formidable check of his championship standing within the type of Gaethje on October 24. However, if Khabib defeats “The Spotlight” and extends his profession to 29-Zero, the prospect of Nurmagmedov taking up St-Pierre in what may very well be his remaining combat would supply a mouthwatering matchup to finish his outstanding profession.
