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.
