UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed when he will make his return to action.
“I don’t know when it’s going to be. Now we’ll talk about this with the UFC. It’s going to be maybe [September 9] or [October 6]. I don’t know about opponent — Conor [McGregor], GSP (Georges St-Pierre), whoever. It doesn’t matter, we’ll see,” Nurmagomedov said this week. "Next couple of weeks it’s going to be very fun because now we’re beginning to talk about my next fight with the UFC."
As of now, the UFC hasn’t announced confirmed dates for either UFC 228 or UFC 229 so nothing appears set in stone just yet, MMAnytt reported.
Nurmagomedov won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Al Iaquinta in April.
