While Khabib Nurmagomedov may be ranked as the #1 contender at lightweight on the UFC’s official rankings, the undefeated Dagestani fighter has yet to have an official date set for a title fight with UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez.
Nurmagomedov, who is coming off a successful outing in his return fight to the Octagon earlier this year against Darrell Horcher, has been campaigning for a fight with Eddie Alvarez, who has continued to say Nurmagomedov isn’t worthy.
In a rather lengthy Instagram post, Nurmagomdov reflected on his MMA career, and the current state of the UFC’s lightweight division, stating that rankings really don’t matter.
