UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov appears to be looking for challengers outside the Octagon.

Khabib met Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, in Russia Sunday, and took the opportunity to call out the undefeated Floyd.

"Let's go Floyd, we have to fight now," Khabib said in the video. "50-0 vs 27-0. Two guys, never lose.

"Because in the jungle, only one king. Of course I am the king, because he cannot drop (Conor) McGregor, but I dropped him easily."

Nurmagomedov made headlines again last week, threatening to leave the UFC if teammate Zubaira Tukhugov was fired over his role in the postfight brawl at UFC 229.
