Former undisputed lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been linked today with a stunning return to the UFC – in a massive welterweight title siege against undisputed gold holder, Leon Edwards atop UFC 300 in April.
Nurmagomedov, a former undisputed lightweight champion and pound-for-pound one ranked fighter under the Dana White-led promotional banner, called time on his career back in late 2020, following a successful title unification win over then-interim gold holder, Justin Gaethje.
Officially vacating his lightweight crown at the beginning of the following year, Nurmagomedov has been linked with a return to the Octagon in the time since, however, has yet to make good on a return to competition in search of a perfect professional 30-0 record.
