According to UFC president Dana White, it is expected that lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will be back in action in September. However, no concrete plans have been set for the reigning 155-pound champion.
But according the “The Eagle” himself, the UFC is already brewing something up for him.
”Yes, we are working on this,” told RT Sports of his next fight. “Yes, we are working on this. UFC told me that they are working on this. I just came back from Dubai.
“And very soon news is coming. Very soon.”
However, he says he laid out one condition for his return, which involves two of his comrades who were also suspended for the post-fight brawl in October.
