Khabib Nurmagomedov just challenged Floyd Mayweather It looks like UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov isn\u2019t finished riding the high from his victory against Conor McGregor at UFC 229 \u2013 in fact, the wrestler has called out yet another formidable opponent, as well. Khabib challenged boxing pro Floyd Mayweather in an Instagram post on October 13, where he stood alongside boxing manager DeJuan Blake. \u201cHey, let\u2019s go, Floyd,\u201d Khabib said with a smile. \u201cWe have to fight now. 50 and 0 versus 27 and 0 \u2013 two guys who never lose.\u201d He appeared confident in a victory against the boxer, stating that he had managed to drop McGregor when Mayweather hadn\u2019t. He even referred to himself as \u2018the king of the jungle\u2019 in reference to his record. \u201cLet\u2019s go, why not?\u201d he asked. \u201cBecause in the jungle, only one king\u2026 Of course I\u2019m the king, because he cannot drop McGregor, but I dropped him easily. That\u2019s why. Let\u2019s go.\u201d Blake also offered Khabib a spot in Mayweather Productions, as revealed by a statement in the video\u2019s caption. \u201cFuck UFC & Bellator MMA, sign with Mayweather Productions and get what you deserve!\u201d Blake wrote. \u201cMatter of fact, Affiliation Management is the PLUG.\u201d While Mayweather has yet to respond to Khabib\u2019s challenge, he previously stated that Khabib\u2019s post-match brawl after defeating McGregor at UFC 229 was \u2018very unprofessional.\u2019 Blake\u2019s offer marks another opportunity in a slew of proposals Khabib has received following his assault on McGregor\u2019s Jiu Jitsu coach at UFC 229. Alongside an alleged offer from the WWE and 50 Cent\u2019s proposal with MMA team Bellator, it seems like Khabib could have a shot with Mayweather Productions, to boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
