In case you didn’t know…
At UFC 229, Khabib Nurmagomedov successfully defended his UFC Lightweight Championship against Conor McGregor when the latter was defeated by fourth-round submission, thanks to an ugly neck-crank.
Khabib, who following the triumphant win, has shown interest in a Boxing match against veteran Floyd Mayweather, could very well find himself in the Octagon against an MMA veteran in the form of GSP. A dream fight between the former UFC Welterweight Champion and the current Lightweight Champion is apparently in the pipeline and could very well take place in the near future.
The heart of the matter
Double Champion Cormier recently claimed that he is certainly vouching for a dream fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and GSP and feels that his fellow AKA teammate should get a shot at the former Middleweight Champion, regardless of the weight class.
Additionally, DC also revealed his predictions for the potential dream fight, stating that The Eagle is capable of beating GSP and is likely to do so via a five-round split decision. (H/T: Bloody Elbow)
What’s next?
Daniel Cormier’s next fight in the Octagon is scheduled for next week at UFC 230, as he and Derrick Lewis will headline one of the biggest UFC PPVs at the Madison Square Garden on the 3rd of November.
