Not only did the win extend Khabib's winning streak in the UFC but it also saw him become the undisputed UFC Lightweight Champion of the world. However, with a stacked UFC Lightweight Division, Nurmagomedov certainly has no shortage of contenders for himself at 155.

Along with Conor McGregor, another fighter who also wants his second shot at Nurmagomedov is Dustin Poirier, who sent out the following tweet, revealing that he is up for a rematch against the Irishman but for a shot at Nurmagomedov.
