One of my favorite things anyone has said in the buildup to the UFC 254 main event this weekend came from Khabib Nurmagomedov as he was discussing being on "Fight Island."
Nurmagomedov (28-0, 12-0 in the UFC) will be looking to unify his lightweight championship against interim belt holder Justin Gaethje (22-2, 5-2 UFC) on Saturday in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates -- in an event that will happen in the afternoon, U.S. time (pay-per-view main card at 2 p.m. ET). In a recent interview with ESPN, the champ basically outlined all the reasons why he shouldn't be there.
