UFC fans put an end to the comparison debate between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Khamzat Chimaev after the latter’s recent fight against Gilbert Burns at UFC 273.

Khamzat Chimaev entered the UFC with an undefeated record of 6-0 under his name. He quickly rose to ranks by mauling his opponents inside the cage. ‘Borz’ took very little to no damage in his fights and finished most of his opponents in the first round. His rise in the division looked quite similar to that of the former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

However, the number four ranked welterweight fighter Gilbert Burns gave a hard time to the Russian-born Swedish fighter in their fight last week. Although Chimaev won the fight via a unanimous decision, he absorbed a lot of damage from his opponent.

Chimaev’s bloodied face was enough for the fans to put an end to the Khabib-Khamzat debate. Many talked about the fight on the internet and also gave their thoughts on the debate.

An Instagram user made a meme of Batman asking Khabib Nurmagomedov if he bleed in a fight. Fans were quick to give their verdict on why Nurmagomedov is so far the most dominant fighter in the UFC.

“C*mshot took some humble pie today,more coming in future,” Another fan wrote.

“There’s only one Khabib,” a user wrote.

‘The Eagle’ was the only fighter in the sport with a perfect undefeated record of 29-0 under his name. Not only that, Nurmagomedov has lost only two rounds out of the 60 he fought in his career.
