Khabib will be ready to return in July

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said when he would be ready to return to the octagon.

“I can fight anytime after Ramadan. It ends on May 23. In July I will be ready. Stop talking about me. Now is the time of coronavirus. When mine comes, I will beat them all,” Khabib said.

Most likely, the next rival of Khabib will be the winner of the battle of Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje, which will be held on May 10. The winner of this fight will receive the status of interim lightweight champion.
