Khabib Nurmagomedov är hittills obesegrad i sin MMA-karriär med 22 vinster i bagaget, och sist besegrade han Rafael dos Anjos via ett enhälligt domslut vid ”UFC on FOX 11”. Härnäst vill Nurmagomedov möta UFC:s lättviktsmästare, och detta hade han att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:
Now, I’m living in the U.S., and my language isn’t very good, but it’s OK. I’m training hard every day. Please, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta, give me my title shot. I deserve it. I like being undefeated, and if the UFC gives me a title shot, the UFC has next year an undefeated and undisputed lightweight champion. I’m 22-0. I think it’s very good for the UFC.
First is Gilbert Melendez, and I am after him. I’m second. Cerrone lost a lot of times in the UFC – Nate Diaz, Benson Henderson, Rafael Dos Anjos, a lot of guys beat him. Eddie Alvarez lost, and Benson Henderson lost. I think, 100 percent, I am the No. 1 contender. Myles Jury is a very smart guy, but he’s never beaten a guy in the top 10. I think if Myles beats Cerrone, he deserves his title shot next year after me.
Before I called out Nate Diaz, saying he’s scared, he doesn’t want this fight, it’s a very bad fight for him. Now, I call out Anthony Pettis. I think he’s scared, too, but Anthony and Nate don’t have good wrestling defense. They know I’ll smash them.
Titelhållaren Anthony Pettis kommer härnäst att möta Gilbert Melendez vid UFC 181 den 6 december, och vem som står på tur att gå match om bältet återstår att se.
