GIHAGIT ni UFC star Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov si undefeated ug retired Floyd Mayweater sa usa ka boxing MMA match.

Sa usa ka press conference sa main event sa UFC 249 batok ni Tony Ferfuson didto sa Estados Unidos, ang Russian mixed martial arts fighter misimang sa makadiyot ug mipadayag sa iyang paghagit punting ngadto ni Mayweather sa usa ka mega-fight.

“If you want to make [the] fight, we can make [the] fight like this: 11 rounds... box, 1 round MMA,” matod ni Khabib. “If you make deal, we can fight...we have $100 million offer to fight him at middleweight. We have offer.”

“I think Mayweather, he’s a very big name. He’s a very big name. Right now, I have big name too. We can fight. But we need like, 11 round box, 1 round MMA. Let’s go, I’m ready.”

Buot ipasabot ni Khabib mao nga 11 ka rounds ubos sa lagda sa boxing ug usa lang ka round ang ipaubos sa mixed martial arts rule.

Dili pa lang dugay, si Mayweather nagkanayon nga aduna na silay sabotsabot ni Dana White, presidente sa UFC, kalabot sa iyang pag-away sa UFC sa higayon nga mosaka na siya og balik ibabaw sa ring.

“Like we talked about on social media, there’s two names right now,” matod ni Mayweather sa usa ka UK event. “We talked about the Conor McGregor fight, we talked about the Khabib fight. For myself, the number is $600 million. If I’m going to go out there and risk it, it’d have to be worth it.

“In the boxing world as of right now, it doesn’t make sense for me to fight any ordinary fighter. I’m a businessman. The Conor McGregor fight made sense. If it makes money, it makes sense. I don’t fight fighters or compete against competitors that only have cities behind them. If I’m going to fight you, you have to have a whole country behind you.”

Kon kahinumdoman, ang away ni Mayweather niadtong 2017 diin iyang gi-knockout si McGregor sa ikanapulo nga round maoy ikaduhang pinakadako og kita kasaysayan sa boxing, sunod sa iyang away ni Manny Pacquiao niadtong 2015.

Kini maoy rason nganong interesado si Mayweather nga moaway og UFC star fighter.

Ang gitawag og hybrid-style match nga gisugyot ni Khabib nakahatag og dugang kaikag. Kon imong tan-awon, ning maong proposals, si Mayweather adunay 11 ka rounds nga makadispatsar siya ni Khabib ubos sa boxing rules, apan ang ika-12 round (kon moabot) ubos na usab kini sa MMA rules nga daw sa mopabor na usab sa Russian fighter.
