Demetrious Johnson supports Usman Nurmagomedov's potential UFC move

Demetrious Johnson expressed his hope that Usman Nurmagomedov receives a lucrative contract if he joins the UFC after completing his PFL contract. Nurmagomedov finished his last fight with a knockout victory over Archie Colgan at PFL New York. Johnson believes Nurmagomedov would be a strong addition to the UFC's lightweight division, suggesting that he should be compensated significantly to leave PFL. UFC CEO Dana White appeared to welcome the prospect of Nurmagomedov as a free agent, although his manager noted that Nurmagomedov is currently under a 90-day exclusive negotiation period following his fight.
