Nurmagomedov, 31, has already defended his lightweight title twice - last time in September against another American, Dustin Poirier. The Russian claimed the belt in April 2018 when he defeated US Al Iaquinta by decision at UFC 223. His first title defense took place on October 7, 2018 - Khabib prevailed over Irishman Conor McGregor by submitting him with a neck crank in the fourth. The victory over Poirier was the 12th for Nurmagomedov in the UFC, overall the Russian had 28 MMA fights and won all of them.
