Khabib Nurmagomedov recently returned to action after a year off, demolishing Edson Barboza at UFC 219 and re-inserting himself into the lightweight title picture currently muddied by Conor McGregor’s mercurial ways. After his win, Nurmagomedov said he wanted to fight three times in 2018, and even suggested he would fight McGregor and interim champion Tony Ferguson on the same night if the UFC would let him. That isn’t likely to happen, but if McGregor does finally decide to defend his title, Nurmagomedov has another plan already lined up: a fight with former lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez.
