"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.
