Khabib Nurmagomedov’s cousin Umar Nurmagomedov has a message for the 135-pounders. After numerous callouts in the division, the bantamweight has settled to fight anyone in June.

Umar Nurmagomedov wrote in his latest tweet, “June !Doesn’t matter with who”.

It remains to be seen if the callout will be entertained in the bantamweight division. The number 11 ranked bantamweight will logically look to fight anyone in the top 10 of the bantamweight rankings. Many fans have come up with their suggestions for the same.

Fans pick ‘Future Champ’ Umar Nurmagomedov’s next opponent

Fans react to Umar Nurmagomedov’s latest callout. The UFC bantamweight is apparently short for opponents and fans have helped him pick some. However, the fighters have not entertained the Dagestani bantamweight.

A fan named Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley to face Nurmagomedov.

Another fan stated that the UFC bantamweight should fight the fighters who have lost their previous fights, such as Petr Yan and Marlon Vera. Another fight that was advised for the Dagestani fighter was to fight some unranked fighter.

Conversely, a social media user hoped for Nurmagomedov to fight a ranked opponent.

Many fans touted the UFC bantamweight to become a future champion.

Some of his fans see a new champion potential in him.

However, no future opponent has replied to his callout and the fans eagerly wait for Nurmagomedov’s next fight. The Dagestani is still undefeated with 16 wins. His last win in the UFC came in January by defeating Raoni Barcelos in round 1.
