Former UFC light heavyweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his opinion on the potential of middleweight Ikram Aliskerov.

The Dagestani will fight former champion Robert Whittaker in the main event of UFC on ABC 6 on June 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"The UFC has high expectations for Ikram. They constantly want him to fight in big tournaments against good opponents. Even with Paulo Costa, he had a fight scheduled.

The UFC has big plans for him, Ikram is performing well. There are fighters who are good in the gym, but can't perform the same way in the octagon. And Ikram, when he gets in the cage and he does not only what he can do, he does 200% more. That's the feeling I get, and I've known him since he was a kid. I think Ikram is a future star," Khabib said on his YouTube channel.
