The battle lines continue to be drawn in the lottery to determine the next opponent of two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor, and undefeated lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov appears to be leading the charge.
Nurmagomedov's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, said this week on The MMA Hour that Nurmagomedov is dead-set on not fighting again unless it is for some sort of UFC title.
"He doesn't give a sh*t who the title fight is against. He's serious," Abdelaziz said. "Khabib, financially, is very stable. And let's not forget, Khabib's purse his last fight, because he didn't fight for in title fight, he lost 80-percent of his purse, because his contract is very, very different.
