Nurmagomedov: Rafael dos Anjos has my belt
Khabib Nurmagomedov: “I will come back strong, beat Cowboy, kick his ass and after that I want my fight against Rafael dos Anjos because he has my belt.”
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s last fight was almost a year ago, a decision win of Raphel Dos Anjos. Nurmagomedov has set out a year and that time Dos Anjos won four straight times, the last fight capturing the UFC lightweight title from Anthony Pettis. Now he is set to fight Donald Cerrone with a title fight on the line, and then is coming for his belt:
“I have been injured and now I need to come back strong, but Rafael dos Anjos after my fight, he went on a four-fight win streak and he smashed everybody. He fought me, he smashed four guys after me and this guy’s no joke. This guy is strong. He has very good stand-up and very good jiu-jitsu,” Nurmagomedov said.
“But I feel I am the No. 1 lightweight in the world. I am very focused for my next fight versus ‘Cowboy’ (Cerrone). I will come back strong, beat Cowboy, kick his ass and after that I want my fight against Rafael dos Anjos because he has my belt.”
