After Easy Weight Cut Khabib Seriously Considering Going Down A Weight Class

 

 

Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most intense fighters in the UFC. The Dagestan born sambo artist is widely known for being cheeky but in spite of his funny streak the Eagle is claiming to be serious.

Nurmagomedov hit 155.5 on Friday morning – this was not to be part two of the tiramisu debacle.

 

“we’re here, like, two days before fight and I can’t believe. When I’m beginning this in September, I think it’s going to be very hard – the weight. It was really really hard weight, but everything go fast. Now, two days before fight, tomorrow morning when I show weight, and Saturday night, I’m going to show how Eagle is hungry. I have to catch somebody inside the cage, this is very important. Eagle have to eat.”

Perhaps it’s that smoother weight cut that has Khabib considering dropping a weight class. A fighter many fans and pundits have theorized should be fighting at welterweight may end up trying for 145 in the not-too-distant future. It’s a plan that’s already raising eyebrows.

“No, I’m not joking,” Khabib assured, when asked if he was actually considering a drop to featherweight. “I am serious about this. But first of all, I have two fights at lightweight: Edson and Tony. I want to finish this business, and afterward I think, with my team, what we’re going to do. But I am already thinking about this.”
