Dana White recently commented that Khabib Nurmagomedov will fight again in September. But the fighter is not so clear, as revealed during an interview. He affirmed that he wants to return to the Octagon of the UFC in that month, but first he wants to solve the problems that his friends have with the company.
It has not yet been officially confirmed but the UFC Lightweight World Champion has given more details on RT Sport
“UFC told me they are working on it (it refers to the situations of Zubaira Tukgugov and Abubakar Nurmagomedov). I just got back from Dubai. Tony Ferguson can not fight at this time. (Georges) St-Pierre is retired. (Conor) McGregor is retired. A boxing match with (Floyd) Mayweather is not happening since we could not reach an agreement with the UFC. (Max) Holloway and (Dustin) Poirier are great fighters so I’ll fight the winner of this fight. “
Holloway and Poirier will fight at UFC 236 for the UFC Lightweight Interim Championship. From the first moment, it was clear that the winner would go for the champion but it is good that Khabib himself confirms it. Now it remains to see which of the two fighters triumphs.
