UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov has called out Floyd Mayweather following his victory over Conor McGregor, claiming: 'In the jungle there is only one king'.

Khabib extended his UFC record to 27-0 with victory over McGregor earlier this month, just over a year after Mayweather secured his 50th professional win by stopping the Irishman in Las Vegas.

Standing next to Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions and a long-term confidante of the retired boxer, Khabib said on Saturday night: 'Let's go Floyd we have to fight now - 50-0 vs 27-0 - two guys who never lose. Let's go, why not?

'Because in the jungle there is only one king. Only one king. Of course I am the king because he could not drop McGregor and I dropped him easily. Let's go.'

Ellerbe then appear ed to give the match-up his blessing, by shaking the Russian's hand and saying: 'You'll get some of that work, baby.'

Khabib put in a dominant display against McGregor last Saturday, exercising his superior wrestling throughout the contest.

The lightweight champion also sent his rival to the mat with a powerful right hand before eventually securing a submission via rear-naked choke in the fourth round.

The event was marred, however, as Khabib proceeded to jump over the octagon and attack McGregor's team-mate Dillon Danis, sparking a mass brawl which saw McGregor attacked by three members of his camp.

The Nevada State Athletic Commissionhas temptorarliuly suspended both fighters with a vote to be held at the next NAC meeting next week to decide whether or not indefinite bans will be handed down.
