WATCH: Tyson Fury Pays Homage to Khabib Nurmagomedov

Fans of combat sports would know that only a few fighters in boxing have managed to attain a flawless record, while in MMA only Khabib Nurmagomedov has matched that feat. Mixed Martial arts is not an easy sport to compete in and it is indeed a lot harder to have a flawless career in.

However, losing a few fights in boxing can nose dive anyone’s career to the point of no return. This is why ‘The Gypsy King‘ is regarded so highly, as he shares the same unbeaten record as Khabib, and he acknowledged his greatness with a special message on Instagram. Fury stated that Khabib did everything right in his career and exited the sport with an unblemished record.

“This man did it right, got in & won and got out on top”

Khabib Nurmagomedov is eyeing to achieve new heights of success in MMA

Tyson Fury is currently preparing for his title defense, which will put him up against Dillian Whyte. Meanwhile, Khabib has changed gears in his career as he hopes to train the future crop of champions. Retiring on top wasn’t nearly enough for the 33-year-old fighter, as he looks to dive into the world of promoting fights.
