Nurmagomedov: UFC organizes big fights for 5-6 months, in boxing it takes years

Andrew Karlov June 14, 2019, 2:19 p.m.

In a fresh interview with UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about how MMA is different from boxing.

"In UFC the matchmaking is excellent, they always put in the cage the best against the best. If in the organization the things were like in boxing, many stars would never have fought each other. UFC needs just 5-6 months to organize a fight between two top fighters. In boxing it takes years. That's what I love about UFC».
