‘Be careful’ - Khabib issues warning to UFC and Bellator about treating fighters well

Former undefeated UFC champion and pound-for-pound king Khabib Nurmagomedov appears to have made a smooth transition into fight promotion. The 33-year-old’s very own Eagle FC is about to take flight with a roster that’s becoming quite loaded with notable names.

Among the recent signings is former champion Rashad Evans, former interim title challenger Kevin Lee, TUF 1 alum Diego Sanchez, and former GLORY champion Tyrone Spong, to name a few. Intentions to sign Dustin Poirier and Tony Ferguson have also been put out there.

Then this little exchange recently happened.

Being the new potential big player in town, Khabib sent out this warning to both the UFC and Bellator.
