Wow. It's not out of the realm of possibility to call Nurmagomedov a future champion in the UFC at lightweight. He's a tough matchup for every single person in the division. And he's only 25 years old. Look out.
Who's next: Michael Johnson
Maybe it's a question of who will actually fight Nurmagomedov. The answer is not many. Champion Anthony Pettis and No. 1 contender Gilbert Melendez are out of the picture here, because they're fighting in December. Benson Henderson and Rustam Khabilov fight in June. Johnson, who has won three in a row, is available and he's already said he would take the fight. Nurmagomedov-Johnson isn't a No. 1 contender fight, but it's close.
RAFAEL DOS ANJOS
There's no shame in losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Dos Anjos is still one of the most underrated guys in the lightweight division and, at age 29, is going to collect quite a few more victories.
Who's next: Josh Thomson
Thomson is coming off a controversial loss to Benson Henderson. He's still a title contender. Dos Anjos lost to Nurmagomedov, but he's still in the mix. It only makes sense for them to face off to determine who remains relevant in the division.
