Khabib angered by McGregor-Alvarez UFC 205 announcement
No. 1 lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov is the odd man out in the UFC 205 main event.
The undefeated Russian called out lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez for not fighting him and instead working a deal to face Conor McGregor at UFC 205 in November.
Khabib tweeted his anger on Tuesday morning, saying he felt used by UFC, telling the world both McGregor and Alvarez were afraid to get in the Octagon with him.
I have two bout agreements that bullshit champ refuses to sign. I got used the whole time to make Conor and Eddie get on their knees and beg

Just for the record @Ealvarezfight and @TheNotoriousMMA fear me I'm just a man. Your time will come to get my hands on you

Nurmagomedov could be in line to face either fighter should an injury occur in the lead up to the historic card, but until then he'll be sidelined, or will have to find another fight.
