The father and the coach of the new UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov outlined further career goals for his son.
"The interest in Khabib's fight was great. We waifed to this for a long time, we were traumatized, we climbed out and slowly moved forward, but we did it. We need a few high-profile battles: St. Pierre, McGregor. Although Conor will not create problems for us as a fighter. Can you imagine that with such pressure and struggle for two rounds he would get up and do something?.
"McGregor lost his belt but he has the right to fight for the title immediately if he decides to returns to the octagon. Let him fight Khabib, but not the bus," Nurmagomedov Sr. said.
