Shortly after his incredibly one-sided victory over Edson Barboza at UFC 219, Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about the two title holders at lightweight in Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor.
“Tony or Conor, don’t matter,” he said during the post-fight press conference. “Maybe if the UFC approves, I can fight with these guys in the same night. I swear, no joke.
“Maybe I have to stay humble, but tonight, I have to smash these guys and get these guys back, because these guys talk too much when I’m injured,” he said.
