Khabib wants to fight in Russia
Even though Conor McGregor asked Dana White to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov in Russia, it might be Tony Ferguson who gets the opportunity to do so. When speaking to Channel 1 Russia, the UFC Lightweight Champion revealed his intentions to fight in Russia for his upcoming title defense.
He stated that there’s an option in Moscow as well, but rain would pose a problem.
One thing is for sure, if Khabib does manage to land the fight in Russia, it’s going to be in a massive stadium. It’ll be the perfect setting for the fight because Tony Ferguson is widely believed to be the only Lightweight who poses a genuine threat to Khabib Nurmagomedov and his dominance as Lightweight Champion of the World.
The other fight that Nurmagomedov is interested in is one against former 2-time Welterweight Champion and Middleweight Champion Georges St-Pierre. In all likeliness, that’s a fight that won’t be happening.
