UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov awaits boxing legend Floyd Mayweather
Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC Lightweight Champion, said Monday his desire to challenge legendary American boxer Floyd Mayweather.
On Monday in Moscow, for the presentation of his autobiography, Khabib Nurmagomedov again confided his desire to face Floyd Mayweather, (world champion in five boxing categories and undefeated in his 50 professional fights). "Our fight will be twice as interesting (as the one he won on October 6 in Las Vegas against Ireland's Conor McGregor for the UFC lightweight title)," said the Russian. Two undefeated fighters, it will be interesting to see which one of them will fall or retreat. I know that some media and even the guys on my team don't give me a chance against (Mayweather). But it motivates me even more."
Khabib Nurmagomedov also spoke about Conor McGregor. After their October 6 fight, incidents and a general fight had occurred. And the two men were then suspended.
Nicknamed "Money" for his immense fortune in the rings, Floyd Mayweather ended his career in September 2015, before returning for a controversial and highly profitable fight against…. Conor McGregor, August 2017 in Las Vegas.
