Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje will reportedly unify the lightweight title at UFC 253 on September 19.
Gaethje earned his shot at undisputed champion Khabib when he outclassed and stopped Tony Ferguson to win the interim title at UFC 249 last month.
Conor McGregor had hoped to face the American but was shot down by the UFC before announcing his ‘retirement’.
McGregor announced on social media at the weekend that he was walking away from the sport but it is not the first time he has quit, retiring last year before returning to the ring less than 12 months later.
Now Combate claim a date has been selected for Khabib vs Gaethje, the fight targeted to take place in just over three months at an undisclosed location.
It’s no surprise that the bout is still some time away with Khabib having a number of issues standing in the way of his fighting career at this moment.
The Russian has just completed Ramadan, a month in which Muslims don’t eat or drink during the hours of daylight and a period which needs significant time to return to full strength from.
The coronavirus crisis also continues to make life tough for fighters, especially those residing outside of the United States.
Most importantly Khabib’s father remains in a critical condition, having fallen seriously ill last month with problems related to Covid-19.
Father and trainer Abdulmanap was placed in a medically-induced coma last month in Moscow after falling ill with pneumonia. The 57-year-old came out of the coma following surgery but was then placed on life support.
There was some good news earlier this week with his manager Ali Abdelaziz saying there were signs of improvement.
‘Khabib is very strong, his family is very strong and his father is very strong,’ Abdelaziz told ESPN.
‘He’s improving. He opened his eyes, responding a little bit — good sign. Allah is in control. We have faith he will be better, but at the end of the day, it’s completely up to his health whether it progresses or not. But he’s progressing, and we’re very happy about this.’

Depuis le 25 mai dernier, les commerces de la métropole ayant une porte menant à l’extérieur habituellement utilisée par la clientèle peuvent rouvrir leurs portes. Cependant, la situation est différente pour les centres commerciaux à Montréal, qui attendaient toujours le feu vert pour reprendre leurs activités. Eh bien ces derniers pourront le faire dès le 19 juin prochain, a-t-il été confirmé en cette fin de semaine.
Les centres d’achat de la communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM), mais également de la MRC de Joliette, sont concernés par cette réouverture.
Les établissements devront mettre en place certaines mesures, comme recommandé par la santé publique et les spécialistes en santé et sécurité du travail en ces temps de pandémie.
Ces mesures incluent notamment un nombre limité de clients dans les commerces et les centres commerciaux, des cloisons pleines installées aux caisses, aux kiosques d’information et aux comptoirs des restaurants de la foire alimentaire ainsi qu’un sens de circulation unique, dans la mesure du possible », peut-on lire dans le communiqué.
La Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) a d’ailleurs mis en ligne une trousse d’outils pour les commerçants.
D’ailleurs, les aires de restauration des centres d’achats à l’extérieur de la CMM et de la MRC de Joliette pourront être utilisées par la clientèle dès ce lundi 15 juin, à condition d’être aménagées en concordance avec les consignes de la santé publique.
« Elles devront notamment favoriser le maintien d’une distance de deux mètres entre les clients de ménages différents ou comporter des barrières physiques permettant de limiter la contagion. »
De plus, tu ne pourras pas te servir dans un comptoir de nourriture ouvert.
Dans la région de Montréal, à Joliette et dans la ville de L’Épiphanie, cette réouverture des aires de restauration se fera plutôt dès le 22 juin prochain, soit quelques jours seulement après la reprise des centres commerciaux.
