Khabib Nurmagomedov was once again present at the UFC APEX complex in Las Vegas, USA, last weekend to cheer for his teammates, who were expected to succeed his career at UFC, Islam Makhachev. Of course, UFC President Dana White was also there, and he did not hesitate to have a photo shooting with the Lightweight champion.
In addition to the general selfie, Dana White also said he had started a conversation with Khabib about welcoming him back to UFC – something Dana has tried hard to do during the past months. Khabib Nurmagomedov has announced hanging gloves since October 2020, after he defeated Justin Gaethje.
“We have a little talk,” Dana White shared with the press about the meeting between him and Khabib Nurmagomedov in UFC 259.
“I asked Khabib, hey, do you want a match in September? He smiled loudly, laughing like everyone was laughing here.
Earlier, Dana White also said he highly appreciated the excitement of the current Lightweight. White believes that will help Khabib Nurmagomedov direct his attention to the stage.
“There will be many good matches in the Lightweight class, all of them have the potential to create a true hit. Look at it, all the boxers we have, from the 9 to the first to the first class, are genuine warriors. Every match between them will be very attractive. I will wait and see if I can prove myself as the strongest and fight for the belt.”
“Until then, I hope Khabib will return to the ring.”
