Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager believes Floyd Mayweather is clamoring for a boxing match against his fighter. Nurmagomedov is the reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight title holder. When Conor McGregor was the 155-pound ruler, he faced Mayweather in a boxing match. Mayweather won the bout via 10th-round TKO. Having submitted McGregor back in October, “The Eagle” […]

Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, believes that his client fighting former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson would be an easy fight. That is a strong statement to make but Ali has never had an issue with speaking his mind.

UFC President Dana White has made his stance known regarding the next fight for Khabib Nurmagomedov. Although a rematch against former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor makes sense, he would like Ferguson get the next title shot.

At the end of the day, Abdelaziz wants to get Nurmagomedov his biggest payday possible. In his mind, Ferguson “cannot move the needle” when it comes to pay-per-view buys.

“I think it took 11 or 10 fights for (Nurmagomedov) to become champion,” Abdelaziz said to MMAJunkie. “It’s the longest winning streak outside Tony. Now, you can’t be like, ‘Fight somebody who is not going to help you sell pay-per-view.’”

At the end of the day, what is next for Khabib all comes down to the decision made by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. That call will be made on January 29th for his punishment in the role that he played in the UFC 229 brawl. When it comes to Ferguson, Abdelaziz anticipates an easy paycheck for the champ but it won’t be his biggest payday.

“Tony Ferguson is an unbelievable fighter, but I’m telling you, he’s one of the easiest fights for Khabib out there,” Abdelaziz said. “He’s sloppy. He’s slow. Khabib will beat him. He will put a beating on him, a worse (beating) on him maybe than (he did to Conor). The fight will happen, but when it will happen, I don’t know.”

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley wants a money fight. No fight fits the description better than a bout against the biggest star in mixed martial arts (MMA) history, Conor McGregor.

The fight would make sense for both men, as McGregor would love to chase a belt in a third weight class, being the first to do so, and Woodley would make more money than he could possibly imagine. While the stylistic match-up majorly works in Woodley’s favor, “T-Wood” feels a lot better about fighting the Irishman after seeing his performance against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor was defeated by the Russian at UFC 229 this past October via submission. However, while the fight may have ended with a submission, Khabib actually got the only knockdown of the fight as well. He uncorked a right hand that dropped the Irishman for a few seconds.

Khabib’s Striking “Not The Greatest”

Speaking on “Fair Game” with Kristine Leahy, Woodley says that, after seeing Khabib knock McGregor down, he thinks he’d knock the Irishman out (via MMA News):

“Yeah,” Woodley said. “Especially after watching him fight Khabib. You know, Khabib is dope, and he was undefeated. When it comes down to overall martial arts and being able to be a great striker, and power, and wrestling, and defense, and striking, I think Khabib is dope for his pressure and his wrestling.

“But his striking is not the greatest in his division, and he was able to knock Conor down. So if Khabib could knock you down, I think I might be able to knock you out.”

McGregor and Woodley certainly have had their issues with each other in the past. At UFC 205 back in 2016, the pair had a brief stare down with one another during early morning weigh-ins. They then got into it with each other again later that day, but this time backstage at the official weigh-ins as McGregor yelled at the welterweight champion.

Anything is possible when it comes to McGregor, so a potential fight against Woodley one day isn’t completely out of the question, no matter how unlikely it may seem.
