UFC: Khabib Nurmagomedov is 80% sure that his next fight will take place in Russia [PHOTOS].

Khabib Nurmagomedov is the current king of the UFC lightweight division. He won the title by defeating Al Iaquinta, and then retained it by submitting Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.

Now, 'The Eagle' is planning a new fight. His opponent would be the American Tony Ferguson and the lightweight belt would be on the line. Dana White, president of the UFC, has already given the green light for this bout.

But where would it take place? In a recent interview with Russia's Channel 1, Khabib declared: "We are negotiating with the UFC. I really want to fight in Russia. It could be in St. Petersburg or Moscow."

"It has to take place in a big arena. The conversations continue and I am 80% sure that my next fight will be on Russian territory," added the champion, who remains undefeated in mixed martial arts with 28 victories.
