Although, this is something that not everyone might agree with. Even then, a true fan of the sport cannot mention the lightweight division without mentioning Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Justin Gaethje, however, will not be an easy hurdle to overcome, something ‘The Eagle’ has to do to achieve the coveted ‘GOAT’ status.
