Former UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, is currently busy expanding his promotion, Eagles Fighting Championship. After the conclusion of a recent card, ‘The Eagle’ was asked about the next event, which will also feature Nurmagomedov’s teammate and former M-1 Global welterweight champion, Shamil Zavurov.
Nurmagomedov was asked whether he will be present as the organizer or if he will corner his teammate for the fight. ‘The Eagle’ said Zavurov will probably be fighting in the co-main event of the card.

The 36-year-old veteran, Zavurov, competes in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions of the UFC. The ‘Lion Of Dagestan‘ has a professional record of 39-6.
