Undefeated UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov has demanded the next title shot against newly crowned champion Conor McGregor.And one of Nurmagomedovs coaches believes McGregor is already doing what he can to avoid the fight.After knocking out Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in New York on Saturday, McGregor (21-3) didnt seem interested in a fight against Nurmagomedov (24-0), who submitted Michael Johnson on the same night. The Irish star claimed that Nurmagomedov, who missed all of 2015 due to injury, hasnt fought frequently enough to warrant a title shot.Nurmagomedovs striking coach, Javier Mendez of American Kickboxing Academy, took exception to that claim.Yes, 100 percent, he is ducking Khabib, Mendez told ESPN.com. I know that from the words he is saying. He doesnt fight enough for my taste? Give me a break.You can say, Hey, I want to fight Nate Diaz a third time. Fine. Say that. But dont try to put my guy down because you are trying to avoid him. Dont belittle my guy. Thats bulls---.Nurmagomedov, who is originally from the Russian region Dagestan, made a loud statement at UFC 205. He literally demanded the next title shot during the fight while he was hitting Johnson with strikes on the ground.There was even an exchange between Nurmagomedov and UFC president Dana White after the second round. Nurmagomedov believes the UFC used him to book the title fight between McGregor and Alvarez.Hes talking to Dana from the corner after the second round, saying, Dont send me any more bulls--- contracts, Mendez said. Danas laughing, saying, Just take care of what you got in front of you. And Khabib says, Dont worry about that. Im taking care of that. You know who the real champ is.Mendez, who also trains current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and former champs Cain Velasquez and Luke Rockhold, said he felt that McGregor received favorable matchups early in his career. He changed his mind last year, when McGregor agreed to fight Chad Mendes on short notice.He hopes he wasnt wrong in changing his mind.When he fought Chad Mendes, I thought it proved he wasnt ducking anybody, Mendez said. But now hes doing this and Im thinking hes trying to avoid Khabib. I think Khabib, [lightweight contenders] Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson all give Conor a hell of a fight -- but the guy who gives him the worst time, by far, is Khabib. Hes the strongest grappler in the division.Nurmagomedov, 28, has said that if the UFC denies him a title shot, he wont fight for the organization again.As far as Mendez knows, Nurmagomedov is serious about it.Thats what he has said this whole time, Mendez said. And its not about fighting Conor. He doesnt care if he fights Conor. He wants to fight for the title. He has no beef with any fighter out there. He wants the title to prove hes the best, and he wants to defend it against the best. Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys .

Discount Baseball Jerseys . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane said that he sat during the national anthem before Thursday nights preseason game against the Oakland Raiders to show support for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.I just like what hes doing, and Im standing behind him, Lane said.Its something I plan on keep on doing, until I feel like justice is being served.Lanes decision comes less than a week after Kaepernick first sat in protest of American racial injustice and minority oppression.Kaepernick and teammate Eric Reid took a knee during the anthem before the 49ers game against the Chargers in San Diego on Thursday night.Lane, 26, is in his fifth year with Seattle. He re-signed with the team during the offseason and is expected to start opposite Richard Sherman. He said he did not tell his teammates about his decision beforehand, and that Kaepernick was not a friend or acquaintance.Asked if hes prepared to deal with the reaction to his decision, Lane said, Yeah, I am prepared for it. And I dont mean no disrespect to anybody, but Im just standing behind what I believe in.Sherman said Lane had strong conviction when he made the decision to sit.Any time you stand up against the flag, its going to be perceived something, Sherman said. Obviously Jeremy doesnt stand against those who sacrifice for this country or anything like that. He obviously understands the guys who have made the greatest sacrifice for our country and our freedom, but he also understands the oppression that our country has put African-Americans and minorities throough for years.ddddddddddddo yeah, I think that is something that they are trying to get recognized and looking for people to make a change too. Even with all of this, you are getting African-American veterans reaching out and saying that they have been discriminated against even in the service, so I think this discussion that Colin started is going to evolve into something deeper.Seahawks coach Pete Carroll did not know Lane was going to sit during the anthem but spoke with the cornerback in the locker room after the game.Its totally an individual decision, but these are very interesting issues that were dealing with right now, Carroll said. Our team has been working at it, and weve been in the process of communicating about a lot of stuff right now. That was an individual thing. But Im really proud of the progress were making in the conversation, and I look forward to continuing it with our guys.Its really important to us to understand and to be smart about what were doing and how we handle our business. Like Ive been telling you, we have a great group of guys that lead this team, and theyre going to help us as we move forward. Im very much in support of them and how we handle it. This was an individual statement tonight.The individuals in this program have always been very crucial to us, and recognizing them. This is another time we support our guys.ESPN.coms Paul Gutierrez contributed to this report. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
