There’s some good news for those of you anxious to see lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov back in the cage.

The personable 26-year-old Dagestani fighter, who was forced to the sidelines in July with a torn meniscus, recently met with doctors and is now targeting a March return to the cage.

As he wrote on Twitter:

With doctor Kvitne he told me I'm ready to fight in March,thank you for support @lorenzofertitta @danawhiteufc @ufc pic.twitter.com/PQzEVSYT8b — khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) September 30, 2014

Nurmagomedov (22-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who’s ranked No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, had just signed to fight Donald Cerrone at UFC 178 when he suffered the injury in July.

Nurmagomedov, who’s undefeated in his six-year career, has quietly racked up a six-fight UFC winning streak, most recently outpointing Rafael dos Anjos in April at UFC on FOX 11. And yet, he’s struggled to find willing opponents, according to UFC President Dana White.
