Khabib wants to fight in Russia next

The UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in an interview to Sports.ru said he wanted to hold his next fight in Russia.

"Negotiations were conducted with UFC and they are ongoing. I really want to fight in Moscow or St. Petersburg. I am 80% sure that my next battle will be in Russia. I don't want to pressure on Dana White, but he saw the tournament rankings in Abu Dhabi, in Russia and around the world. I think, UFC will be happy to hold the tournament there," Khabib said.
