Undefeated smashing machine Khabib Nurmagomedov is now the UFC lightweight champion after dominating a tough-as-nails Al Iaquinta at last weekend’s UFC 223, and he could (should) be headed for one of the biggest fights in MMA history.
That bout is an obvious showdown with former two-division champion Conor McGregor, who sent the hype for the anticipated fight into the stratosphere by throwing a metal dolly through a bus Khabib was riding after UFC 223 media day last Thursday.
If a monstrous “Eagle” vs. “Notorious” does somehow happen one day, it’s the Russian wrestling prodigy who would be favored to win. According to the odds from ‘The Oddessa Line’ (via MMA Junkie), Khabib has opened as a -165 favorite over the +135 McGregor.
It’s hardly a surprise to see Nurmagomedov open as the favorite because he’s undefeated and the hype is on him right now after he put some lopsided scores across the board on short-notice replacement Al Iaquinta. Many, including those swayed by Joe Rogan’s harsh criticism of Nurmagomedov’s striking, think that he could easily be defeated even though he peppered talented boxer Iaquinta’s face with sharp jabs and outstruck him by a gross margin.
Khabib does hold his chin a bit high when striking, that much is definitely true, and if anyone could hit him with a knockout shot it would be the power-punching McGregor.
However, we haven’t seen ‘The Notorious’ since his second-round TKO win over Eddie Alvarez in the main event of November 2016’s UFC 205, and he’s mainly been in the news for his over-the-top and now, illegal out-of-the-cage antics since his reported $100 million purse to box Floyd Mayweather last August.
A rematch between the Irish megastar and ‘Money’ has been rumored for the octagon, and with McGregor facing assault charges in New York for the incident last week, his UFC return is uncertain for 2018 – and perhaps ever.
You’d have to think he’ll return at some point, however. Will it be as an underdog against Khabib or as a massive favorite against Mayweather?

This past weekend (April 7, 2018), Khabib Nurmagomedov scored a one-sided decision victory over Al Iaquinta in the main event of UFC 223 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York to become the promotion’s undisputed 155-pound champion.
And while it’s been a long road to the title for the undefeated Dagestani fighter, he admitted that he’s a bit worried about the belt, as he doesn’t want it to change him:
“I’m a little bit worried about this belt,” Khabib said during a post-fight media scrum (transcript via MMAjunkie). “Sometimes you think, ‘You’re UFC champion (and) a lot of stuff.’ But I’m a little bit scared about this. I don’t want to change. I want to be same Khabib, like, before belt and after the belt. This is not about me. This is about all people around me.”
Originally, Nurmagomedov was set to take on Tony Ferguson at UFC 223, but Ferguson was forced to withdraw just a week prior to the event after suffering a freak knee injury. Then, the UFC called on featherweight champion Max Holloway to step up on short notice, but Holloway was deemed medically unfit to fight on the day of weigh-ins by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC), which led to Iaquinta accepting the fight.
Now, it’s currently unclear who Nurmagomedov will take on next, but he said that he’s hoping to defend his title by the end of the year:
“With the belt comes a lot of attention, a lot of money – crazy stuff, a lot of crazy stuff,” he said. “I don’t want this belt to change me. I want to stay focused. Next month is Ramadan coming. After Ramadan, I want to begin training, come back this year and defend this title.”
