When Darrell Horcher tweeted that he'd fight anyone in the UFC at any time, he didn't expect to be offered Khabib Nurmagomedov on nine days' notice.
"When I said I'd fight anybody on any notice, obviously there's a better matchup you can have on nine days' notice than Khabib himself," Horcher said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I try to keep to my word, if I tweet about it, or say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it."
Horcher (12-1) and his management set the bait expecting that the UFC would get someone else to fight the 22-0 Nurmagomedov, who needed an opponent at UFC on FOX 19 when Tony Ferguson dropped out last week.
