Top UFC lightweight Khabib 'The Eagle' Nurmagomedov, who has been calling for the championship belt fight ever since he recovered from injury earlier this year, says he now has a “plan B” if he doesn’t get it.
Nurmagomedov, who has a perfect 24-0 MMA record, showed a dominant performance against both of his opponents this year, including a third round submission victory against Michael Johnson at historic UFC 205 in New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
But taking into account the fact that UFC didn’t put Khabib on the main card at UFC 205 it's not hard to tell that the promotion is not too concerned about him fighting for the title yet.
Khabib still found a way to deliver his message to UFC and his fans, speaking after his latest victory over Johnson. "I want to stay humble but other guys talk too much," said Nurmagomedov in his post-fight interview in the octagon. "Beginning of the year your guy tapped like chicken. End of the year he gets title fight. Crazy!

“This is true. You know this. This is not trash talking. Irish only 6 million, Russia 150 million, I want to fight your chicken. What do you say about 24-win streak? Let's go, let's go with your chicken."
The video of his interview gained over 1,000,000 views on the official UFC YouTube profile alone.
Talking to media at the post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White also confirmed that he received Khabib’s message about the title shot, adding, “it’s a good problem to have.”
But The Eagle went further later, tweeting: “if I don't get my title shot next I have different plan I won't be fighting in UFC @danawhite.”
