“Whenever you gotta guy like myself who’s gotta wrestling pedigree and now, you’re on 3 fight win streak, the undisputed Lightweight champion of the world that he might somewhat look to be enticed to come back.”
Although it’s exciting for him, he said he isn’t thinking about it for the moment. “But I’m definitely not losing sleep over it. And definitely not even thinking about it because I believe my legacy will continue to grow.
“I will be UFC Hall of Famer whether I fight Khabib or not,” he concluded.
