Eagle FC league owner Khabib Nurmagomedov admitted that the fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Junior dos Santos may take place before the end of this year in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier, Nurmagomedov said that he would try to organize a fight between Emelianenko and Dos Santos together with the Bellator promotion.
“Yesterday I spoke with Scott Cocker (President of Bellator, — approx.), and we agreed to meet for dinner next week in San Jose. In a few days I will go to San Jose. We will meet with Scott and discuss this idea. I believe that this fight with a probability of 70-80 percent will take place before the end of the year in Saudi Arabia.
Now we are negotiating with representatives of Saudi Arabia, with the teams of Dos Santos and Emelianenko, as well as with Cocker. We have everything, and all that remains for us is to put everything together and let the fans enjoy this fight, ”Khabib told MMA Underground.
At the Eagle FC 47 tournament, which will be held on the night of May 21 in Miami, dos Santos will fight Yorgan De Castro.
