Russian mixed style fighter (MMA) Khabib Nurmagomedov made an offer to Dustin Poirier to contact him if the American leaves the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC). Reported by ESPN MMA.
Nurmagomedov, 33, said he was ready to offer Poirier to join his Eagle FC promotion. “If the UFC gets rid of Dustin, Khabib and Eagle FC are always here,” he says.
Earlier it became known that the roster of Eagle FC was replenished by fighters known for their performances in the UFC. This is Renan Barao and Rashad Evans. Kevin Lee also joined the organization.
In January, Eagle FC will host the first tournament in the United States. In the main duel, the Russian heavyweight Sergei Kharitonov and the Dutchman Tyrone Spong will meet.
After finishing his career, Nurmagomedov bought the Gorilla Fighting Championship promotion and relaunched it under the Eagle Fighting Championship name.
