Russian mixed martial arts fighter Habib Nurmagomedov (link is external) offered Conor McGregor (link is external) fight in the Welterweight weight class. About how UFC reacted to this proposal, said the father and coach of Habib abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.
"When Habib learnt that Rafael DOS Anyos was injured, he asked the Manager to call the UFC to hold a fight with McGregor. The only issue was the weight. Time for weight loss to easiest weight category, but McGregor always says that will compete with any. He said he wants to fight with Robbie Lawler. If the weight is not a problem for him, Habib agrees. UC started talking about Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, but not about Habib. Their response was that they can't fight in the Welterweight weight class. But we already know what happened: they gave him a fight with Nate Diaz in the Welterweight weight class. Why choose Nate, not Habib?!
A fight with McGregor in the light weight category would be the easiest for Habib. Everyone saw what you did with Chad Mendes Conor, but he was successful only in the first round. We can do the same and all three of the round, all five rounds. This guy is very easy opponent for us. We have the skill of fighting with which he cannot cope. No one can compete with Habib. In this battle, we would do all that he willed.
Two of the most simple fight for Khabib is the fight with Nate and Conor. The style of fighting Khabib is very dangerous for them. But not Habib and company. They chose Nate Diaz, because it's easier for them to advertise two fighters who talk a lot. It's a business. In our opinion, the Habib's fight with McGregor would show how good Habib.

There are many questions about injured Rafael DOS Años. If you remember, it actively promoted the fight Conor with Aldo, you will notice that advertising was not so much before the fight with Raphael. As if they knew in advance that McGregor will fight with Diaz. About McGregor much can be said, the whole company is running on his name. We are ready at any time to show that he is not someone who can be in the top flyweights.
It is important for us to beat Tony Ferguson and show that Habib has not changed over the two years of inactivity without a fight. He's only gotten better, stronger in spirit and body. We want to show that they still deserve a place in the top division". (Source: mixedmartialarts.com)
