Khabib Nurmagomedov's agent said the star fighter wants to defend his UFC lightweight title three times in the next 11 months, reports ESPN.
His agent Ali Abdelaziz told ESPN that Nurmagomedov will continue to train despite plans to observe the one-month fasting period of Ramadan, which starts Monday.
"He gave me very specific instructions," Abdelaziz said. "He said he wants to fight Sept. 7 and again in December. And if [former welterweight champion] Georges St-Pierre can figure things out with the UFC by April, that's the deal. He would like that fight in April."
The 37-year-old St-Pierre announced his retirement from MMA in December.
