UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who just won a dominant victory against Conor McGregor earlier this month at UFC 229, could now follow in McGregor's footsteps.
At an event in Russia this weekend, Nurmagomedov called boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, speaking in front of a camera next to Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe.
"Let's go Floyd, we have to fight now," said Dagestan. "50-0 against 27-0, two guys who never lose.Well, why not? Because in the jungle there is only one king.Of course, I am the king because that he can not dump McGregor, but I drop it easily. Let's go. "
Mayweather used social media on Monday morning to respond. He posted on Instagram: "CBS, Showtime and MGM Grand come out the checkbook!"
A fight against Nurmagomedov would be Mayweather's second fight against a UFC fighter.
Mayweather beat McGregor by TKO (10th round) on August 26, 2017 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the second largest pay-per-view event in history, generating 4.3 million purchases .
Mayweather had a guaranteed $ 100 million scholarship and McGregor a $ 30 million guarantee.
Mayweather is known as the best boxer of his generation, never losing a fight in his career. He has held world titles in five different weight classes.
Nurmagomedov also did not lose as a professional. He claimed the UFC light belt at UFC 223 in April, flying Al Iaquinta by decision. On October 6, at Nuremberg UFC 229, McGregor was cranked in the fourth round. After the fight, he jumped over the cage and into the crowd to confront Dillon Danis, McGuplor's jiu-jitsu coach, and set off a fight between the two teams. The repercussions of this scrum after the fight have yet to be determined by both the UFC and the Nevada Athletic Commission.
