Khabib Nurmagomedov might be retired, but Michael Chandler is holding out hope for a fight with the unbeaten lightweight champion.
Ahead of his UFC debut on Saturday, Chandler told TMZ Sports he'd rather take on Nurmagomedov over Conor McGregor if given the choice.
"I would have to say if I had to lean one way, I would go Khabib," he said. "You gotta get that title shot. Those are not easy to come by here in the UFC, so I would definitely choose that, but of course they're all getting talked about after I win my fight Saturday night.
