Today at 3PM, live on ABC and during UFC Fight Island 7: Holloway vs. Kattar, UFC President Dana White will make a special announcement regarding Khabib Nurmagomedov.
White revealed this earlier on twitter, stating that he met with Nurmagomedov last night and that later on today he will “talk about his decision and how it’s going to impact the Poirier-McGregor fight next weekend and the co-main event in the lightweight division.”
Yesterday White met Nurmagomedov at a UAE Warrior event that paid tribute to Nurmagomedov’s late father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. ‘The Eagle’, who announced his retirement after beating Justin Gaethje in October, has shown little signs of eagerness to go back on his plans, but White has continually insisted that he would try and change his mind.
