'CR7' wished Nurmagomedov well ahead of his UFC 254 title bout and congratulated him following his dominant submission victory over Justin Gaethje.

"Damn, he's putting together a serious team," joked the UFC lightweight contender.

'The Eagle' is also slated to meet with UFC president Dana White to discuss his future following his shock retirement last year.
