Khabib Nurmagomedov is on impressive five fight win streak and will likely find himself in a number one contender’s fight next. With a win, Allah permitting he will wait for a title shot:

“I need another fight before I can fight for the belt. [Gilbert] Melendez is fighting [Anthony] Pettis so the next fight for a champion will happen in May [2015] or so. I can’t wait that long. I need another fight before the end of 2014. If Allah gives me a victory then I’ll wait for a title fight.
