“Well, now I am fighting against Islam, but I am ready to meet with Nurmagomedov as soon as he returns. I am always ready to fight him. To be honest, I doubt that he will fight again. He said that he had retired and that his fighting career was over. I fully respect his decision."
Recall that Oliveira will hold his next fight on October 22 in Abu Dhabi. His opponent will be Khabib's friend Islam Makhachev, and the vacant UFC lightweight belt will be at stake.
