The winner of VALETUDO.RU MMA AWARDS 2013 in the nomination "The Best Fighter from the Former Soviet Union" unbeaten Habib Nurmagomedov (21-0) is full of strength also desires to fight with the best fighters. The problem that the top top-10 the easy UFC division either is injured, or is blocked, or runs from the talented prospectus, as the devil from an incense.

Recently thanks to appeared at a press conference after UFC 168 we believed a poster that with Nurmagomedov the podratsyaeks-champion of Strikeforce Gilbert Melendes is ready. However a bit later the president of the organization Dana White officially declared that fight won't be.

The reason of such decision up to the end isn't known, but the other day a little clarity were brought by "El Niño's" partner on command Jake Shields. According to him, Melendes didn't sign the contract on fight, and respectively anything I didn't refuse. Jake reports that Gilbert at all didn't plan to fight so soon, and wants to act in April.

However Habib who was up in arm isn't ready to wait. Having learned about impossibility of fight with Melendes, Nurmagomedov and his team instantly (actually not for the first time) threw down a challenge to the only Nathe Díaz who has remained to a free top. It would seem, hooligan won't give in and will accept battle … however it didn't happen.

According to tweet of Dana White, Nathe Diaz refused the battle offered it with Habib Nurmagomedov.

After a victory on Gray Maynard Diaz told in interview that won't hurry with the following fight, instead having a rest and expecting opportunity to come for replacement to the next injured applicant (as it Anthony Pettis made, having replaced Ti Jay Grant in fight against Benson Henderson).

Here to you and all praised essence of Stockton which, it be occupied by really severe guys, would be called as Chelyabinsk. The only fighter who has enough bravery for fight with Habib, Brazilian Raphael Dos Anyos is - after all it accepted battle with Rustam Habilov, sincerely considering that signs the contract on a match against Nurmagomedov.

As a result megatalented, not knowing the defeats, won in UFC five victories in a row Nurmagomedov hanged in so-called "a limb of the dangerous prospectus" when the victory over it owing to its small popularity doesn't promise to the top fighter of serious dividends, and loss seriously rejects back. Still a year ago in same precisely was Chris Weidman – and only long efforts from UFC led situations to that Anderson Silva agreed on fight with it.

And what waits in this case for Habib?
