Despite not being cleared to fight yet, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been calling out UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis for quite some time.
Earlier this month it was revealed that Rafael Dos Anjos would be the next man to challenge Pettis’ lightweight strap, something Khabib wasn’t too thrilled with.
He continued his verbal assault on the champ via Twitter.
It's funny @Showtimepettis talking about me now when he got booked to fight, before that he didn't say anything about me. Your scared.

Hey @Showtimepettis RDA is going to beat you down the next fight, after that you'll be fighting in the prelim while I become the champ @ufc
