With his upcoming fight against Tony Ferguson being viewed as one of the most important bouts in UFC history, there&#8217;s a very good chance he could be on the verge of cementing his position as the greatest lightweight of all time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the wake of that fight, if he&#8217;s able to get past &#8220;El Cucuy&#8221;, there are going to be quite a few options on the table for &#8220;The Eagle&#8221;. Another fight against McGregor is certainly one of them, but with Justin Gaethje waiting in the wings, it&#8217;s safe to say that Khabib is going to have his hands full in the next few months if not years.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 1\/20\/2020.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC president Dana White has claimed that Khabib Nurmagomedov has Conor McGregor-type money \u2014 in excess of $50 million.
