Ali Abdelaziz Comments on Umar Nurmagomedov Getting The Next Title Shot

Abdelaziz stated that he and Khabib discussed with Dana White and his associates the possibility of giving Umar one more fight before a title shot. He named Figueiredo or Zahabi, arguing, “If you’re the best, you have to beat everybody.” After defeating Mario Bautista in October, #1-ranked Umar (19-1) said he was willing to face Zahabi or Figueiredo before Ramadan.
