A week after a dominant victory over Conor McGregor, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov immediately made moves to boost his stock further. Over the weekend, he was seen with Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe issuing a challenge to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
“Hey, let’s go Floyd. We have to fight now. 50-0 vs 27-0. Two guys, never lose,” Khabib said in a video posted on Ellerbe’s Instagram account.
“Let’s go! Why not? Because in the jungle, only one king. Of course I am the king, because he cannot drop McGregor, but I dropped him easily. Let’s go.
