The undisputed 155-pound champion Khabib Nurmagomedov took to Twitter and had high praise for the matchmaking on UFC 254. The card is being headlined by ‘The Eagle’ who looks to stop the ever-dangerous interim champion Justin Gaethje. Moreover, the fight is teased to possibly be the second last time Nurmagomedov ever makes the walk to the octagon.

Additionally, the pay-per-view event plays hosts to a stacked main card that is sure to produce some all-time barn-burners. The co-main event sees another lightweight clash of epic proportions between Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier. What’s more, the fight will serve as a sure-fire title eliminator and determine the next contender in line. Not to mention, former champion Robert Whittaker is keen to build some momentum off surging contender Jared Cannonier.

It is clear that Khabib Nurmagomedov is satisfied by the supporting staff that has been assembled around UFC 254. The main card in particular will go a long way in bolstering a fight card that already had plenty of eyeballs on it. Furthermore, the fights have high stakes in terms of the overall landscape of their respective divisions.

Khabib Nurmagomedov: Legion bound

The undefeated fighter has displayed utter dominance in his MMA career building a resume with dangerous names. He seems to elevate his position in the sport with every octagon appearance currently sitting at 28-0. Fight fans have grown to anticipate his match-ups as they play out like a grappling clinic at the highest level.

Moreover, the Dagestani fighter has actualized his potential and become a massive player at the box office. His drawing power as a marquee star for the UFC has grown exponentially in recent years with a boom in his mainstream popularity. Chiefly, his shutdown of Conor McGregor at UFC 229 helped to shine a light on his skillset to a casual fan base.
