There is no doubt that Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the best fighters in UFC history. The Dagestani fighter has never been defeated in his entire career as a mixed martial artist. Many regard him as the greatest mixed martial artist the world has ever seen. Nurmagomedov boasts a perfect fight record of 29 wins, with zero losses to his name. 

The eagle has defeated the likes of many remarkable fighters like Rafael dos Anjos, Conor McGregor, and Dustin Poirier. Khabib attributes his success as a fighter to his late father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. His father trained him since he was young and shaped him into the legend he is today. 

After the unfortunate passing of his father, Khabib retired from the UFC. He believed he’d proven himself as a fighter and vacated his title when he announced his retirement. Even though Khabib has accomplished everything a fighter can dream of, he is still a humble man.
