Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently set to throw down with octagon returning Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 229. That being said, it would appear that fellow undefeated UFC featherweight contender Brian Ortega believes he can defeat the Dagestan native.
“From what I’ve seen from the Michael Johnson fight, his chin…it’s not that great.” Ortega said, as seen within the video above. “I want to fight Khabib,” Ortega later continued.
