For months now, top 155 lbs contender Khabib Nurmagomedov has been requesting a fight for December and it appears he may have got it. But has he really...?
Fellow top contender Edson Barboza was asked about a potential fight with Khabib when speaking to MMA Fighting last week. Here's what he had to say:

“They offered me this fight and I accepted it. I said I’ll be ready for December 30, and it’s on him now. We’ll see what he does. I saw an interview with him yesterday and he said he’ll fight me if Conor (McGregor) fights (Tony) Ferguson, and Dana White already said that fight will happen, so I believe my next fight will be against Khabib."
All we can do now is wait and see what happens. One thing we know for sure is that it would be a great fight.
