Khabib Nurmagomedov has responded to UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez.
And it is pretty epic.
Alvarez stated recently that he doesn’t believe Nurmagomedov’s record is all that impressive because much of it came outside the UFC.
The unbeaten Nurmagomedov has his own opinion of Alvarez and has placed the fighter on his own personal “blacklist.”
“So (Alvarez) says that I never fight with top fighters and talking about my pro record. I’m not sure where he gets that information, but when I fight vs Tibau he was ranked 15, when I fight vs Tavares, he was considered as best Brazilian lightweight, Pat Healy was ranked 10, when I fight RDA he was #5. My last fight, I suppose to face Tony Ferguson who is ranked #3, but he got injured and pulled out, I asked for any light and welterweight fighter for replacement, including (Alvarez), but nobody accept,” he wrote on Instagram. “But your ass, Eddie, got kicked in first UFC fight by cowboy, second fight you won Melendez by split decision, but all experts believes you lost that one unanimously. Third one you win Pettis by split decision and after that you get title shot. You beat RDA without question. Do you really believe, that with that only one UFC victory, you are great fighter and can dictate your terms? I don’t think so. Remember, with or without the belt, I will hunt you down. Your name in my blacklist.”
