Khabib: I'm here to be the best promoter in the world

Former UFC Lightweight Champion and current owner of the Eagle FC promotion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about his desire to become the best promoter in the world.

“I have been doing this all my life. I am the senior in my team, and I had to take responsibility and control everything. Even when I was an active fighter, I trained, because they are all my brothers - now they are fighting, and I am retired.

Fighting experience helps me because I know what the fighters are thinking. I know what they need. My fighting experience moved into the promotion, my career helped me a lot.

I just want to be the best promoter. I'm not here to be number three or number two. I am here to be the best in the world. And we developed a new system - in a few years, I think people will understand who is who, ”Sky Sport quotes the Russian.
