Khabib Nurmagomedov, the UFC lightweight champion, will fight next on September 7. At the moment, the name of "Eagle's" opponent is unknown. According to his father and coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov there are considered three candidates: Dustin Poirier, Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor:

"Three contenders are in development. They are Ferguson, a rematch with Conor and Dustin Poirier. September 7, the main fight of the evening. Khabib will be ready for any of them. But for me, it would be logical to fight Dustin Poirier. McGregor shoul fight someone else," said Nurmagomedov Sr.
