Despite tweets from Dana White and Khabib Nurmagomedov that indicate an Eddie Alvarez vs. Nurmagomedov UFC Lightweight Title fight as the main event of UFC 205, it appears that nothing is official yet regarding the main event for the promotion’s first event in the state of New York in November.

Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com is reporting that as of Wednesday morning, no fight had been signed to headline the UFC 205 PPV card, despite tweets from the UFC President and Russian lightweight contender on Tuesday evening, and an additional tweet from Khabib on Wednesday thanking the UFC for a “gift.”

Fueling speculation that Conor McGregor could be in the running for the headline spot at the first-ever UFC event at Madison Square Garden was a tweet posted by “The Notorious” one on Wednesday afternoon.

Much like the recent negotiations for UFC 200, and later UFC 202, it appears as though the Irish mega-star is using his heavily populated public platform to negotiate his way into a highly sought after PPV main event slot.

On his official Twitter page on Wednesday, the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion simply wrote, “Beg me.”

UFC 205 takes place on Saturday, November 12, 2016 from the world-famous Madison Square Garden arena in New York City.

Well, if we are to believe UFC president Dana White, we will not be getting Eddie Alvarez-Conor McGregor at UFC 205.

When asked on Twitter late Tuesday night, White responded that Alvarez will be defending his lightweight title this November against top division challenger Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Alvarez called out McGregor to sign the contract on Tuesday with several social media posts, all of which were answered by Nurmagomedov. “The Eagle” even put a time-limit on on of his responses to Alvarez needing to sign the contract.

It looks like “The Eagle” recently dodged a bullet.

Following his victory over Darrell Horcher in his return to the Octagon in his most-recent UFC fight back on April 16th at the UFC On FOX event in Tampa, Florida, UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov became the proud owner of a Mercedes AMG GT. A few months later, Nurmagomedov left the car with a friend while he went to San Jose, California to train, only to find out that the same friend crashed the vehicle in a minor accident in Makhachkala, Dagestan.

While Nurmagomedov was in San Jose to resume training at the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) facility, he discovered that the friend he left the car with in his native Dagestan got into an accident on Friday, September 16th and suffered minor injuries in the process. The car too, only suffered minor damages.

“The Eagle’s” father and longtime coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov claimed that the car was barely damaged in the incident. “It’s okay,” he said. “The car is repairable. One lamp was broken, the hood and bumper are damaged. Even the glass is not broken. There is no problem.”

The story made the llocal news in Dagestan due to the popularity of the highly-regarded UFC contender, and you can check out the video from Life.ru below. A still photograph of the damages to the car can be seen above.
