In the aftermath of UFC 205, Khabib Nurmagomedov has not stopped campaigning for a title shot against Conor McGregor. At first, he produced a dominant showing against Michael Johnson. Then he gave the UFC an ultimatum that involved leaving the organization if he is not given a title match in his next outing. Finally, the Dagestani native settled on demanding an interim title fight against Tony Ferguson to cement his contendership status.
A frustrated Ali Abdel Aziz appeared on The MMA Hour to discuss the matter and revealed that Nurmagomedov has already received offers to complete elsewhere.
“Khabib is under a UFC contract and I will never break a UFC contract and sign with another promotion,” Ali told Ariel Helwani on Monday (h/t MMAMania) He got offered $5 million from a promotion in Russia to fight.
