UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov noted that the promotion listened to his request to give him a fight before the start of Ramadan. However, at the same time, they left him a very little time gap - only a week.

"I told them to organize me a fight at any time, as long as it was before Ramadan. I asked them. They complied with the request and put me to fight a week before the beginning of this month," Khabib said.

On April 18 Nurmagomedov will fight against Tony Ferguson. At the moment there is nothing concrete about the place of this battle.
