Sometime around the end of February, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dana White were scheduled to sit down once again in Las Vegas and discuss the lightweight champion’s future. Despite the longtime AKA fighter’s insistence that he was retiring from MMA after defeating Justin Gaethje via technical submission back in October, UFC president Dana White has been dogged in his pursuit of even just one more fight for the Dagestani champion.
Whether White and Nurmagomedov actually did reconnect over the last couple weeks or not, from the sound of things, it certainly doesn’t seem as though any headway has been made in White’s hopes of luring the ‘Eagle’ back to the Octagon.
