After this fight, Nurmagomedov looks set to enter free agency, which would likely make him the most appealing free agent on the market in mixed martial arts.

In a recent interview, Nurmagomedov opened up on his future as the calls for him to make the jump continue to grow.

Nurmagomedov discusses his future

“I did already 12 fights in Bellator and PFL and I’m very thankful for that,” Nurmagomedov told MMA Junkie. “I love it. We have really good relationship with the team from PFL. I don’t know what’s going to happen next. If we talk about today, I didn’t sign nothing. I have one fight left – this fight. Then we’ll see.

“I don’t have any problem to stay with PFL. I love PFL and let’s see. Let’s see if I will show my best performance. I think a lot of people will be interested in me. First of all, it’s going to be PFL. I cannot say something now because this is Ali’s job. I think he’s going to figure it out. … I will go out and do my job and if somebody going to pay me good money, we will stay there.”
