New UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has finally released a lengthy statement regarding his recent Title victory and his plan for the future.
It reads:
"At this moment, atmosphere is very heated: there is Conor and Tony, Porier, Lee and Alvarez, all of them are good. Fight with any of these guys would be very interesting and competitive. I never choose opponent, fought with any fighter who was offered me to fight, and I’m not going to change that. I’m coming back November - December to defend my belt. Whoever the UFC decide to fight me with, I’ll sign."
I'm happy to see any of these fights, they're all going to be excellent, and I can't even imagine how Khabib will get through all of them without getting a loss, 2019 is going to wild for sure.
My gut feeling is that we see Alvarez Poirier 2 before we see any of the other story-lines unfold, because that's for sure Khabib, Tony and Conor out until the end of the year now. Kevin Lee is in limbo now also if he's healthy, he should keep busy and jump up to welterweight for a fight or two to get some extra experience while he waits.
