Khabib Nurmagomedov Calls Out Floyd Mayweather, Mayweather Responds

UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is in hot water now with both the UFC and Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for instigating a post-fight brawl at UFC 229.

Nurmagomedov recently threatened to leave the UFC and with an eye towards the future, has called out retired boxing great Floyd Mayweather.

Mayweather would get wind of the call out from the UFC Lightweight Champion and would issue a response of his own through Instagram:
