Khabib Nurmagomedov may just be one fight away from permanently sealing his legacy as the greatest fighter of all time. The Dagestani powerhouse is currently sitting at a perfect 29-0 record.
However, everything looks better with round numbers, and there has been pressure on Khabib to come back and finish his career at 30-0.
