Nurmagomedov is having a pretty busy month already. He defeated Conor McGregor on Oct. 6 in a highly anticipated bout, then jumped into the crowd and fought with members of McGregor's team. He was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission shortly afterwards.
Mayweather also challenged Manny Pacquiao in September to a rematch of their record breaking 2015 fight. He is a -260 favorite to win that potential fight.
