Makhachev's cryptic response to a photo of Morales and Topuria, featuring a telephone emoji, hints at a potential matchup with one of them next.

Cormier immediately called out both of them for not following any rules. Cormier noted that their famous games of Dagestani basketball is a mixture of rugby and basketball with almost no rules. Cormier would preferably not include them on any team as they would try to modify the rules according to their convenience. However, if bound to choose, Cormier would pick Nurmagomedov, whom he sees as the bigger and rougher one.

Kamaru Usman has never shared the mat with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev despite being close friends with them. Usman is currently rallying for a welterweight title fight against Makhachev. Many believe the matchup is being plotted by their common manager, Ali Abdelaziz. Courtesy of Abdelaziz, Usman is a close friend of Makhachev and his mentor, Nurmagomedov. However, "The Nigerian Nightmare" surprisingly revealed that he never had the opportunity of training with either Makhachev or Nurmagomedov.

"I wasn't surprised by Petr's victory," Nurmagomedov told Red Corner MMA. "I knew he is better at striking; he's got good defensive wrestling. Even if Petr had been taken down, Merab doesn't have the grappling skills like Aljamain Sterling has to control Petr on the ground... I think even if you give Merab a three-year break and make him face a healthy version of Petr Yan, Petr will beat him 10 out of 10 times."

This everything is from my uncle Abdulmanap. My father pushed us into sports, but he didn't have any plans that we'd be champions. But my uncle Abdulmanap, he believed in us. He always came to my father and told him, 'Hey, I see your boys have big potential. Be careful with them.' Today, uncle Abdulmanap is not with us, but his son keeps doing his job with us.

There's no special work for this particular opponent. We're trying to improve in all aspects to become the best in the world. I can't see any threat in Figueiredo. Of course, he's a very experienced and skillful fighter. But it's all about his right hand and the right leg. He has some understanding of grappling. He is capable of taking you down. Overall, he's a decent fighter, but I can't see any big threat in him.

"The GOAT for me is Khabib, and I would put Jon Jones in that category, but I can't," Mendez said on the Ahmed Mahmood show. "If you're caught doing something you shouldn't have been doing, how can you be considered at the top of the league? This is a true sport, and in a true sport you cannot put that person ahead.
