UFC debut clip of Khabib Nurmagomedov leaves fans in splits

UFC fans are known for their love-hate relationship with all the fighters. Khabib Nurmagomedov debuted in UFC on FX 1. His first fight was against Kamal Shalorus. The fight took place on 20th January 2012. UFC Europe shared the post again on the anniversary of the same day in 2023. Fans can be seen criticizing the ex-UFC fighter under the throwback post.

That’s a bold statement while comparing ‘The Eagle’ to his current self, “No knockout power though.”

A fan called out the Dagestani fighter, “Best fighter on the planet ‘You don’t lose if you stop fighting’.”

He cannot be considered wrong for this concern. “Khabib’s ears look normal. Now they’re pumped as f***.”

That’s definitely one way of showing your dislike towards a fighter: “Khabib doesn’t have heavy hands.”

Somebody sensed the criticism in the comments and decided to go to the polar opposite, “Best UFC fighter of all time!!!”

A very keen observation of Nurmagomedov’s past self, “Savagery at its peak. Undefined technique, risk-taking. That lunging uppercut was his dangerous tool back then.”

Surely, this would have changed anybody’s perception of time. “Damn, I didn’t think he was in the UFC that long. He only had 13 fights. Wow.”
