Young and exciting UFC Lightweight, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has gotten his wish. Not long after Melendez went to war with TUF winner, Diego Sanchez, Nurmagomedov and Melendez both expressed an interest in each other for their next opponent. Khabib also went as far as making a mock trailer for a future clash between the two top contenders.
Nurmagomedov is 5-0 in the UFC and is ready for a huge step up in competition and he gets to face the man who is right behind Benson Henderson as the #1 contender in the UFC's 155 lb division. Gilbert Melendez fought for the title against Benson Henderson earlier in 2013 and lost a close decision that some felt he had won. He then made up for it with a decisive decision win over Diego Sanchez.
This fight has been added onto the UFC 170 card which is headlined by a Rashad Evans and Daniel Cormier.
