Khabib's next UFC fight is expected to be in April against Tony Ferguson.
The UFC will be announcing in December the name of Khabib's opponent and the venue of the match.
The UFC tournament in Moscow (Fight Night 163 on November 9th) was watched on television by approximately 690,000 viewers -- a number higher than those who tuned in for Khabib's championship fight UFC 242 on September 7th.
UFC 242 was held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Dustin Poirier lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov there.
