Mike Perry recently suggested that Khabib Nurmagomedov should consider signing former UFC fighter Alex Nicholson to his promotion.

Nicholson won the Titan FC heavyweight title in his most recent fight against Oscar Sosa at the Titan FC 78 event. 'The Spartan' dropped his opponent and then locked in a D'Arce choke to get the win.

Perry was impressed by the 32-year-old's performance and suggested that the Dagestani legend sign 'The Spartan' to Eagle FC. 'Platinum' wrote in his Twitter post:

"Hey @TeamKhabib, @spartanlife32 won his fight tonight at heavyweight by darce choke after knocking down his opponent. That is what mma is about, he should get a shot in #EagleFc"

Nicholson has fought in organizations like the UFC and PFL MMA in his professional career. In his four-fight UFC career, the American Top Team Orlando trainee managed to win only one fight.

He fought the likes of Jack Hermansson, Sam Alvey, Misha Cirkunov and Devon Clark inside the octagon and earned a knockout finish over Clark.

Nurmagomedov's promotion, Eagle FC, is home to former UFC fighters like Kevin Lee, Diego Sanchez and Junior dos Santos.
