Khabib Nurmagomedov rips 'fat face' Eddie Alvarez
UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov is lobbying for a fight with Eddie Alvarez and isn’t afraid to say whatever it takes to goad the current champion into taking the bait.
Nurmagomedov again took aim at Alvarez today during a Q&A on Twitter, unleashing a string of tweets claiming that Alvarez was scared to fight him and even turned down a main event fight with “The Eagle” later this year.
Even lightweight contenders Tony Ferguson and Nate Diaz came into the crosshairs.
Fans love the fact that Nurmagomedov isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and with 23 professional wins, including seven inside the Octagon, it’s easy to see why he feels he deserves a title shot. Alvarez is a bear Nurmagomedov might not want to keep poking, but at the same time, he’s pretty well-versed in that …
Tell this to Eddie maybe it will give him some confidence https://t.co/rIKvjNmCvD
