Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke with MMAjunkie about his fight with Michael Johnson at UFC 205. Some highlights are below:

On wanting to fight on the card: “I don’t care who I have to fight, because in New York, there are a lot of Russian fans, and a lot of Russian fans want to watch my fights. That’s why I said please, give me a fight. They said, ‘You can wait, we’ll give you $100,000, and maybe if someone is injured, you’ll (fight). But I said I didn’t like it. I want to fight.”

On a title shot coming soon: “I’m ready for anybody, and I know I deserve this.”
