Owner of an undefeated record with 21 triumphs, Khabib Nurmagomedov He has already won five UFC victories and is currently ranked seventh in the lightweight rankings. The Russian's achievements, however, have made things difficult for the organization's management. For the Twitter, president Dana White revealed that he is facing a dilemma in finding Nurmagomedov's next opponent.

“Nobody wants to fight Khabib,” wrote the leader, in a conversation with a fan via the microblogging network. Previously, upon receiving a request to promote combat between the Russian and Nate diaz, the president was emphatic and stated that he had already made the proposal and that Nate refused it. Soon after, when reading about the imbroglio, the light weight Michael Johnson was ready to accept the unwanted duel. Johnson's request, however, received no response from White.

At 25, Khabib Nurmagomedov has a record of 21 wins and no defeats. The balance in the Russian's numbers is impressive. Throughout his career, Khabib won seven victories by knockout, seven by submission and another seven by unanimous decision. Since debuting in the UFC in January 2012, Nurmagomedov has already defeated Kamal Shalorus, Gleison Tibau, Thiago tavares, Abel Trujilo and Pat Healy.
