2- Alvarez and Khabib to face off at UFC 206

Khabib could get his shot at UFC 206

After a ton of rumors about Eddie Alvarez vs. Conor McGregor at UFC 205, Dana White included Khabib Nurmagomedov into the mix with a tweet. Khabib later posted a picture on his Instagram account which showed two contracts that he had signed: one for UFC 205 and one for UFC 206. Both of these contracts were for fights against Alvarez for the championship.

This suggests that the McGregor – Alvarez fight for UFC 205 was called off at some point. The latest speculation says that Alvarez missed his date to sign the UFC 205 fight against Khabib meaning that the fight could be pushed to UFC 206.
