Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has said that the UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will only compete in 2 more fights. Now, Khabib will look forward to aim for 30-0 record before bidding a farewell to the game.

Because of the same, fans will be interested to see whom UFC will book for the last fight of Khabib. UFC President Dana White disclosed that all he knows for sure is the identity of Nurmagomedov’s next opponent.

While speaking with Brett Okamoto on ESPN MMA, the President said, “I don’t know, obviously he’s got this Gaethje fight. That’s a done deal, he’s fighting Gaethje next. And then I don’t know who his last fight would be to make him 30 so I don’t know.”

“Sure I mean it’s the last fight of his career, the guy he’s been great to the company, great to the sport and I like Khabib a lot. I would do anything Khabib wanted to.”
