In the event that Khabib Nurmagomedov has precluded returning as a active warrior, UFC president Dana White seems, by all accounts, to be chasing after the following best thing after he affirmed his premium in the undefeated Russian star training on an impending time of the well known unscripted tv series 'The Ultimate Fighter'.
Last month, Khabib's long-term rival Tony Ferguson proposed training inverse the warrior whom he was arranged to battle on a few events before destiny (or different wounds, contingent upon your take) - with Nurmagomedov rapidly demonstrating his advantage on Twitter.
"Tony I like the thought regarding TUF, call your managers and let them make a proposition," composed Khabib accordingly, prior to adding that he would likewise invite Ferguson into his Eagle FC battle association.
"Be that as it may, in the event that they don't have thoughts, I myself will offer you an arrangement on the Eagle FC stage, we doing some business here you know."
Furthermore, after the two long-lasting lightweight adversaries seemed to find an understanding, UFC manager Dana White has additionally expressed his advantage.
"So you're telling me, you folks as fans, media, anything it very well may be, similar to the possibility of two people potentially training that wouldn't battle one another?" White shared with The Spinning Backfist MMA Show.
Should an arrangement be concurred, it would address something of an intermediary battle between two warriors who bested the rankings at 155lbs for a large part of the beyond a decade or somewhere in the vicinity, and who both held 12-battle win streaks in the super cutthroat UFC lightweight division.
Ferguson, however, has seen a slump in results since he experienced a TKO misfortune to Justin Gaethje in 2020 and has now lost four straight battles - the latest of which was a staggering knockout loss against Michael Chandler.
Both stay very much regarded figures in blended combative techniques, in any case, and Dana White added that he probably wouldn't have the option to oppose an effort to persuade Khabib to return for one last battle in the Octagon.
"Ideally they'll get annoyed enough at one another that they really need to battle and I can make them battle," White said.
"I'm in. You sold me."
Yet, on the off chance that the arrangement happens as expected, don't anticipate that Nurmagomedov should wear the 4oz gloves one final time.
"There have not been any dealings in regards to support in The Ultimate Fighter with Ferguson. With respect to the battle, Khabib won't return. He has previously resigned," an individual from the Russian's internal circle told the TASS news organization.
