Khabib Nurmagomedov is the biggest talking point of MMA right now. He is undefeated and undisputed UFC lightweight champion of the world. Khabib’s achievement inside the octagon establishes him as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. Khabib defeated Dustin Poirier in yet another incredible performance at UFC 242. He submitted the former interim lightweight champion and successfully defended his lightweight title.

Donald Cerrone is in the minor league?

Dana White has shown interest in a rematch between Khabib and Conor if both the fighters are successful in their next fight. However, Khabib has repeatedly denied any possibility of a rematch.

Conor faces Donald Cerrone at the welterweight division in the upcoming UFC 246 on Jan.19 at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas. When asked about the match-up, Khabib did not look very interested in the fight. In an interview with RT Sports, Khabib answered questions from the media.

“I think Cerrone lost the last seven or eight of his last ten fights. The other one is going into his fourth year of no victories. It’s like the minor leagues – it doesn’t matter who really wins there.”

Khabib also rejected Dana White’s idea of a rematch between Khabib and Conor. He added,

“I’ am surprised that Dana White is saying that if Conor beats Cerrone, and I beat Tony Ferguson, there will be a rematch. I decide who I am going to fight next.”

Khabib also talked about Conor’s welterweight return and the difference the weight cut will make coming into the rematch. He trashed Cerrone ahead of his fight against McGregor and called it a “Minor League.” He rested the idea of a rematch by claiming,

“To fight me, he has to cut weight first, down to 70kg. And win ten fights in a row as I did. Then we’ll think about a rematch. But for now, he can fight second-rate fighters who lose seven out of ten fights at 77kg.”

What’s next for Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov will face Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 inside Barclays Center in New York. Khabib will defend his UFC lightweight championship in his second title defense. After a stunning victory against Poirier, Khabib looks confident going into the next fight.
