Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov can fight with Leon Edwards at UFC 300 tournament, says former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen .
The Briton was previously scheduled to defend his third welterweight title against Belal Muhammad at a tournament in Las Vegas in April.
However, according to Sonnen, Edwards could instead face Nurmagomedov, 35, following his coach’s recent announcement that he was returning to training.
— Coach Javier Mendez, owner and director of the American Kickboxing Academy, said Khabib is training with him again. He noted: “Khabib always goes to training, but he only trains with me when he’s preparing for a fight.” And that’s all I know.
But do you know what I was thinking? It is not without reason that the fight between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad has not yet been officially announced,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.
Nurmagomedov retired in 2020 after defeating Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. He finished with a professional record of 29-0.
