“It would be a great honor to play in Africa,” Nurmagomedov wrote on Instagram, attaching a video of the boxing match between Mohammed Ali and George Foreman, which took place in Congo in 1974.

This is not the first time a Russian has been talking about holding a duel on this continent. In particular, Nurmagomedov raised this topic during a press conference before the fight with Dustin Porrier.

Earlier, the head of UFC Russia compared Nurmagomedov with the legendary boxer Ali.
