Habib Nur Mammadov's father reveals how much his son will earn in the UAE

Cairo – Gololy

The father and wrestler Habib Nur Mammadov, the hero of UFC mixed martial arts, said that his son is not fighting for "crumbs" but for a huge amount in his upcoming fight in the United Arab Emirates.

Habib Nurmohammadov will receive more than $ 6 million as a reward for his fight against his American challenger Dustin Poirier, which will be held on Saturday in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi.

The fight is part of the UFC 242 tournament, and the amount is more than what it received from the confrontation against the famous Irish fighter Connor McGregor, in October 2018, where the reward then amounted to two million dollars, in addition to his entitlements from television broadcasting.

"The reward of the fight will be 3 or 3.5 times more," Habib's father was quoted as saying. "We are not fighting for a small amount. We know our value. The $ 2 million is not enough for us, because we are now the best and we have defeated." Best.

"We are ready to continue fighting with the best, and we have popularity. We know that, when we go out into the hall, you will see how the masses will receive Poirier, and how you will receive Habib."

The 30-year-old Habib Nurmukhamedov has won 27 wins so far in his professional career, without bitter defeat.

Dustin Poirier, 30, has suffered five defeats for 25 wins in his professional career so far.
