Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov decided to give a boost to the career of his fellow and divisional colleague Islam Makhachev. On his Twitter page, Nurmagomedov turned to the boss of the promotion, Dana White, hinting that Makhachev was expecting a big fight.
This guy want some fish. @danawhite you promised him last time )))) – wrote Khabib Nurmagomedov, having posted a photo of Makhachev with a large fish catch.

Note that Makhachev fought his last fight at the March UFC 259 tournament, where he strangled Drew Dober in the third round.

Or Islam may fight Hooker, “Ali Abdelaziz told ESPN.
