‘The Last Stylebender’ is already regarded as one of the greatest fighters by many, given his dominance in the division. And a win in this fight will solidify the claim even more. That being said, Izzy is also brought into the G.O.A.T discussion several times.
Most recently, he was compared to the newly inducted UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz claimed that ‘The Eagle’ would defeat current UFC middleweight kingpin Adesanya, but the Dagestani native dismissed this claim.
On being asked about his thoughts on Abdelaziz’s statements, Nurmagomedov said, “No, because I’m not going to fight in 185, I’m not going to fight with him. It’s like…”
“Right now, this is his time, you know. Don’t try to take his like greatness… But going to fight and talk about ‘Oh I can smash him.’ I didn’t say this. People talk about this. I don’t agree with this.”

‘The Eagle’ stated that he never talked about the middleweight champion and also urged people to respect his legacy. Although he had no intentions of fighting Izzy, Nurmagomedov was open to a sparring session.
Furthermore, the UFC Hall of Famer also backed ‘The Last Stylebender’ for his title defense this weekend at UFC 276.
