Cormier suggested in which case Khabib can return to the octagon

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Daniel Cormier admitted that Khabib Nurmagomedov can resume his career if his friend and teammate Islam Makhachev is defeated in a fight with Charles Oliveira.

“If Oliveira beats his friend and sparring partner, then this is probably the best way to get Khabib back. Dana White made a lot of efforts to get him back in business, but all this was not enough. However, what if protecting a friend's honor was reason enough? What will happen if Islam does not complete the task?

I believe that this is also one of the reasons why it is necessary to arrange a duel between Oliveira and Makhachev,” Cormier said on the DC & RC podcast.
