New York rapper 50 Cent is really in pursuit of MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov. The hip-hop star has continued to make his pitch for the UFC champion to switch organizations.
Fif went to Instagram Sunday (October 14) to keep hyping up a potential move to MMA company Bellator.

This week, 50 made a publicized $2 million offer for Khabib to leave the UFC.

Iļø think itās wrong what the UFC is doing to Khabib, they didnāt do the same thing to McGregor. Iāll pay 2 million cash tonight if he will fight for me at Bellator. pic.twitter.com/K7QYxR4IHI

Jackson’s offer followed last weekend’s publicized post-UFC 229 Khabib and Conor McGregor brawl.
Nurmagomedov later responded to the post in the comment section with his trade āsend me the locationā before inviting Jackson to visit Dagestan. The $2 million Jackson is offering would match Nurmagomedovās fight purse for UFC 229, which is currently being held by the Nevada State Athletic Commission while the continue their the investigation of the brawl. McGregor, on the other hand, received his full $3 million paycheck. (MMA Fighting)
Despite the major opportunity, reports claim it’s unlikely Khabib will part ways with the UFC.
Although the rapper may be putting a generous offer on the table, itās ultimately likely a very meaningless one. Nurmagomedov is contractually obligated to the UFC and wonāt be able to part ways with the company unless heās released or opts to breach his contract, which is highly unlikely. (MMA Junkie)
