BROOKLYN, N.Y. – New UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov called out Georges St-Pierre in his post-fight interview after the UFC 223 main event, but from all indications, he seems to think Conor McGregor is a more likely candidate for his first title defense. There’s been heat Nurmagomedov (26-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) and McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) for quite some time, but it all boiled over during UFC 223 fight week when “The Notorious” aimed his alleged now-infamous media day bus attack at the undefeated Russian. “The Eagle” has repeatedly said he wasn’t flustered by McGregor’s antics and would happily fight him any time, whether it’s in the octagon or not.
