Nasrat Haqparast has unfinished business with ‘chicken’ John Makdessi, wants December fight

Nasrat Haqparast has not minced words when addressing John Makdessi.

The two have been going back and forth for a while now, and Haqparast took to Twitter on Tuesday night to reignite the fire.

Hey chicken @JohnMakdessi – you forgot you’re trash talk against me ? Time to back it up if you’re man enough. For your big mouth I need to break your face, this is unfinished business. You said December ! ? Let’s go @seanshelby@AliAbdelaziz00@ufc@UFCEurope@danawhite

The two were scheduled to fight earlier this year in March at UFC on ESPN+ 6 before an injury forced Haqparast out. Makdessi ended up facing Jesus Pinedo instead, defeating him via unanimous decision to notch his third win in a row.

Haqparast is coming off a second-round knockout over Joaquim Silva at UFC on ESPN 5, also extending his winning streak to three. He continued to poke at Makdessi, who responded by telling Haqparast to sign on the dotted line.

“I’m waiting…Sign the contract big boy.”

It appears the two have verbally agreed, and we could finally see these lightweights throw down before the end of the year.
