Zlatan Ibrahimovic sends fans into raptures, appears to hint at UFC 300 return fight for Khabib Nurmagomedov

Former undisputed lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been continually linked with an earth-shattering return to mixed martial arts this year at UFC 300 – as soon as April. And despite confirmation from his coach, Javier Mendez how his past student is not lining up a return fight, the Russian’s close friend, former professional footballer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has added fuel to the fire on a massive comeback.

Nurmagomedov, a former undisputed lightweight champion and prior pound-for-pound number one ranked fighter under the banner of the promotion, called time on his professional career back in 2020, boasting an unbeaten 29-0 professional record.
