"Flying Eagle" Kahabi said: Don't look at the mouth cannon, the next step is to fight Ferguson to win the championship

If "Flying Eagle" Khabib Nurmagomedov can beat Edson Barboza in UFC 219, he is likely to be the next lightweight championship challenger. But Mr. Kahabi made it clear that his target was Tony Ferguson, not Conor McGregor.

"Honestly, the most important thing now is to beat Barbosa. After that, I targeted Ferguson instead of McGregor, because I thought Ferguson was the real UFC lightweight champion right now. ”

"McGregor is a big star, the UFC can't do without him, and he doesn't want to be KOED in the game himself. But he had to fight Ferguson for the title or give up the title. I plan to beat Barbosa and Ferguson to become a true UFC lightweight champion, which may be possible in April or May next year. ”

McGregor has not played an MMA match since beating Eddie Alvarez to become lightweight champions in UFC 205 last November. He has previously said his next game will be played at the UFC, but even Bai Dana can't be sure if McGregor will continue his career.

"When McGregor runs out of money, he'll come back to play." Kahabi said. (Fighting Fan NAOH)
