Number one ranked lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) went on an epic twitter rant against Conor McGregor (21-3), the UFC and Floyd Mayweather (48-0 Boxing) today and yesterday.

The Dagastani native has been very vocal in his attempts to get a title shot, but constant injuries have put the brakes on a fight so far. With the destruction of Michael Johnson at UFC 205 and the fact that the UFC want a card in Russia in 2017 it seemed like Nurmagomedov would be next in line, but talk of a Conor McGregor Floyd Mayweather superfight could be a spanner in the works.

With Tony Ferguson riding a nine fight win streak it could be a case of the number one contender fight that was supposed to happen back in December of 2015 and then again in April of this year. Regardless of what happens it’s going to be fun.
