This past Saturday’s co-main event of UFC 219, where Nurmagomedov ground and pound Brazilian striker Edson Barboza to a lopsided unanimous decision win and improved his MMA career to 25-0.
Not too long ago, Khabib was on the verge of a title shot, but several injuries and an infamous failed botched weight cut that landed him in hospital.
However, he was happy to be fighting someone of Barboza’s talent and ranking.
Khabib’s tactics drew admiration from commentators who wondered at the amount of sheer power and variety he was able to exert through his strikes from the floor.
After the victory, Khabib called out both Ferguson and Mcgregor and said if UFC approves he can fight them in the same night.
It’s been well known now that Ferguson let everyone know his take on Khabib’s scoring a dominant win over Edison Barboza at UFC 219.
Ferguson scores the interim UFC lightweight title back in October with a third-round submission over Kevin Lee at UFC 216.
UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor finally reacts to Khabib’s defeat of Barboza and refer Dagestan’s Khabib Nurmagomedov to ‘dog shit.’
That Dagestani was dog shit the other night you's are all nuts. Game full of sloppy bums asking to be slept. Pay me my worth and Kings back.

“That Dagestani was dog shit the other night you’s are all nuts,” he said. “Game full of sloppy bums asking to be slept. Pay me my worth and Kings back.”
Nurmagomedov wasted no time and prompted to fire back.

“Shut up #TapMachine” Nurmagomedov said.
Currently, UFC lightweight champ Conor Mcgregor’s return to IFC octagon is still a mystery. He also shunned to a possible comeback on Twitter, suggesting if he would return if you beg me, or else he is happy with his riches.
Truly truly truly get on your fucking knees and beg me. Otherwise I don't give a bollox.

McGregor was seen last in November of 2016 where he defeated Eddie Alvarez with a second-round knockout and won the UFC lightweight title and has not competed in the Octagon since UFC 205.
Do you want to see Conor Mcgregor in the Octagon and defend his title? How do you see Mcgregor matches up with Khabib?
