Top UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov tore his meniscus this summer, sidelining him for a considerable time and taking him out of a fight with Donald Cerrone at UFC 178. That fight might have earned him a shot at the UFC Lightweight Championship, but he'll have to get back into the mix when he returns next year.

At least now he's got a return timetable.

Nurmagomedov posted a picture to Twitter on Tuesday night, and said doctors tell him he can return by March.




Penick's Analysis: Nurmagomedov's going to need to win a fight when he comes back, and then he can fight for the title in the summer/fall. He's on the cusp of that shot, but the injury delay definitely puts a kink in those plans. Still, it's good to see he's got a set date for his return, as he can quickly get back into the thick of things once he gets back into the cage.
