Khabib Nurmagomedov provided a hint on his future in fighting earlier today.<\/p>\n
The undefeated lightweight champion is set to defend his belt against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Many pundits are considering it the toughest test of his career. Yet, he remains confident he will get his hand raised. So, on a media call, he revealed Dana White has promised him something special if he wins.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think (I’ll retire after this fight). We have a couple (of) options. We\u2019re going to think about this after this fight,” Khabib Nurmagomedov said on the UFC 254 media call<\/a>. “Dana told me after this fight, he has something special for me. But I told him, please keep this, after fight we\u2019re going to talk. He say has very big things after this fight for me. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n Immediately, many thought that something special meant a fight with Georges St-Pierre that they both have wanted<\/a>. Nurmagomedov said he would beat Gaethje in October then fight GSP in April. It would also be a massive fight and one many think would settle a debate between who is the greatest of all-time.<\/p>\n Yet, according to Nurmagomedov’s manager, that special surprise will not be a fight with either St-Pierre or a rematch with Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n I can guarantee you that surprise won\u2019t be conor or GSP — Ali Abdelaziz (@AliAbdelaziz00) October 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
