UFC featherweight contender Zabit Magomedsharipov wants to fight for the title next. But if that doesn’t pan out, he has another option in Yair Rodriguez.

Magomedsharipov recently went 6-0 with the promotion following his unanimous decision victory over Calvin Kattar at UFC Moscow earlier this month. He called for a title shot soon after as he felt he had deserved it.

“I think it is going to be a very exciting fight; I can’t wait to see it,” Magomedsharipov said of the UFC 245 co-headliner between Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski next month. “I will also be happy to face the winner of this upcoming fight.

“I think I fully deserve the title fight and after enough preparation, I should be more than ready to have a go at the title.”

However, some believe he needs to compete in a five-rounder first before potentially taking on the winner of that fight. That’s fine by the Dagestan native as his manager Rizvan Magomedov revealed they are looking at other options too:

“Obviously we will wait for the result of the Max Holloway vs Volkanovski competition,” Magomedov said in a recent interview translated by BJ Penn. “Let’s see how this fight goes. If we get a chance to go to the post-fight belt competition, of course we will.

“But if that’s not possible, we’d like to fight Yair Rodriguez. The winner or loser of the Korean Zombie fight with Brian Ortega is also a good option. However, this time there will be a five-round fight and we will show everyone that the Zabit is ready for it.”

Magomedsharipov and Rodriguez have been slated to fight for a while but it’s yet to come to fruition. Maybe we could see that next.

Yair Rodriguez has called out Conor McGregor for a miracle fight.

He took to Twitter and had a very creative way to call out the Irishman for a fight.

“’St. McGregor’ @thenotoriousmma make me the miracle. The miracle of facing the biggest fans in this world. Mexico vs Ireland.” – Yair Rodriguez.

Yair Rodriguez is coming off of a decision win over Jeremy Stephens at UFC Boston a few weeks ago. Before that, he had the no-contest to Stephens and a last-second knockout win over Chan Sung Jung. His only blemish in his UFC career is a TKO loss to Frankie Edgar.

The Mexican also has wins over B.J. Penn, Dan Hooker, Alex Caceres, Andre Fili, and Charles Rosa among others.

Conor McGregor, meanwhile, has not fought since his UFC 229 loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. He has since claimed he is fighting on Jan. 18 but the opponent has not been announced. It is rumored it will be against Donald Cerrone.

Yet, Rodriguez has called for the fight, but whether or not he would move up to lightweight for it is unknown. It seems highly unlikely McGregor will return to featherweight as he has had trouble making that weight before.

Whether or not Yair Rodriguez is the opponent for McGregor is unknown.

“I have a great team, there are plenty of words to express such gratitude, not only to my coaches but also to my friends and my family for always being with me. Despite all the bitterness that can become an experience, we always look for the positive side of things and improve as human beings. I had a pending account against a great rival, I knew it would be a hard test in my career but I feel grateful and blessed by God for the opportunity to win this victory.

“Focused and improving day by day, I am sure that I will reach the top in this world. I go with everything and everything but I do not go alone .. . I HAVE A GREAT TEAM! . My respects for this warrior who, despite all that happened before this fight at the end, showed respect and that this is only part of the “business” business. .

“I only seek to face the best of the best in the division and I hope that the @ufc after 9 fights for them, within which 8 are victories, 7 bonuses for fights and performances of the night, give me the opportunity to fight Soon for a world title.”

Rodriguez is now on a two-fight win streak with his win over Stephens, not having lost since suffering his only UFC defeat to Frankie Edgar via TKO in 2017. Now, “El Pantera” has lined himself up for a high-level matchup next, which could very well put him in title contention at 145 pounds.
