“Talk about I am the greatest of all time? I don’t know. We have Jon Jones, Fedor (Emelianenko). We have Demetrious Johnson, we have Henry Cejudo, we have DC (Daniel Cormier), Anderson Silva and a lot of guys.”- Khabib Nurmagomedov
He credits several fighters who could challenge for the mantle of the greatest of all time. For instance, Jon Jones who boasts of a record of 26-1-0, his only loss came against Matt Hamill back in 2009 where Bones was disqualified for using illegal elbows.
The likes of Demetrious Johnson(30-3-1) and Henry Cejudo(15-2-0) also make it onto The Eagle’s list. The former has taken on the likes of Ray Borg, Danny Kingad and emerged victorious.
Cejudo has names like TJ Dillashaw, Marlon Moraes and many more under his belt, along with an Olympic medal.
Daniel Cormier is one of the most well-known names in the history of the UFC. He boasts of a record of 22-2-0.
The 44-year-old Anderson Silva is one of the most respected individuals in the UFC. He has been in the game longer than almost everybody. He holds a record of 34-10-0.
“One of the best, maybe, but I don’t want to be talking about ‘I am the greatest of all time.’ Honestly, like one of the best.”- Khabib Nurmagomedov
The Dagestani fighter admits he is one of the greatest fighters of all time but just not the greatest.
