Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is a huge fan of MMA and he’s always present when anything is going on in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
Hip-hop star recently signed a deal with Bellator that he will award $1 million in cash prize for the winner of the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix. But now, Jackson wants UFC lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov to fight for Bellator.
50 Cent, on his Instagram profile, is smashing UFC for their double standard behavior on Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor and their teams after their bout on UFC 229. He offered $2 million in cash to Khabib Nurmagomedov if he and his teammate, featherweight Zubaira Tukhugov switch from UFC to Bellator.
“I think it’s Wrong that UFC is doing to Khabib, they didn’t do the same thing to McGregor. I’ll pay 2 million cash tonight if he will fight for me at Bellator. I’ll deal with Dana and your contract later. The UFC is not the only game in town. Zubaira is welcome also“ – wrote 50 Cent
Nurmagomedov later responded to the post in the comment section with his trademark “send me the location” before inviting 50 Cent to visit Dagestan.
$2 million is the exact same amount that is currently held by Nevada State Athletic Commision until they investigate the brawl after UFC 229. On the other side, McGregor received his paycheck of $3 million.
For now, both fighters Nurmagomedov and McGregor are suspended from fighting until the investigation is done.
Few days before Nurmagodeov started a “war” with UFC threatening to leave UFC if they fire his teammate from UFC for his actions after UFC 229.
“In any case, punish me, @zubairatukhugovhas nothing to do with that.
If you think that I’ll keep silent then you are mistaken. You canceled Zubaira’s fight and you want to dismiss him just because he hit Conor. But don’t forget that it was Conor who had hit my another Brother FIRST, just check the video.
if you decide to fire him, you should know that you’ll lose me too. We never give up on our brothers in Russia and I will go to the end for my Brother. If you still decide to fire him, don’t forget to send me my broken contract, otherwise, I’ll break it myself.
And one more thing, you can keep my money that you are withholding. You are pretty busy with that, I hope it won’t get stuck in your throat. We have defended our honor and this is the most important thing. We intend to go to the end.”
This all started during the press conference when Dana White, the UFC president, was threatening to release the two UFC fighters who attacked McGregor. Although their identities are still not confirmed, Tukhugov is on fire and he’s closely related to the incident after the fight.
What’s your opinion about this? Should Nurmagomedov go to Bellator or UFC is the best option for him even after everything that is going on right now?
