Khabib considers the fight between Makhachev and Green as a challenger

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov called the bout between Islam Makhachev and Bobby Green a candidate fight.

“After returning, Dariusz will have to go through one more fight, and Islam, after Bobby Green, should fight for the belt with the winner of the Oliveira-Gaethje fight by the end of the year. And when Islam fights for the belt at the end of the year, by that time Benil will also return and will fight the next contender. In any case, one victory separates Benil from the fight for the title, ”Khabib said during a live broadcast on Instagram.
