Everyone has an opinion, and that includes former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. While many are talking about Jon Jones and Alex Pereira's public campaigns to fight one another, Nurmagomedov thinks there's a bigger fight to be made.
Khabib Nurmagomedov sends a message of encouragement to Islam Makhachev ahead of his UFC 322 welterweight title fight
UFC star jokes he’d choose Craig Jones over Khabib Nurmagomedov, saying Khabib would break his console and ban smoking.
Islam Makhachev believes Khabib Nurmagomedov broke Conor McGregor's mind, and that's why he doesn't see the Irishman ever making a return to the UFC.
Khabib Nurmagomedov had a front-row seat at Saturday’s pay-per-view in New York City as Islam Makhachev made history in the main event. After vacating his lightweight throne to pursue two-division glory, Makhachev dominated Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 to become the eleventh fighter to achieve the multi-weight feat in UFC history.
Islam Makhachev became a two-division champion and utilized a dominant grappling game to take the welterweight title in the main event from Jack Della Maddalena. Wrestling was the name of the game in the co-headliner, too, as Valentina Shevchenko defended her women's flyweight title against former two-time strawweight queen Weili Zhang.
Cejudo captured both the UFC flyweight and bantamweight titles, becoming one of few simultaneous champions in the promotion. The Olympic gold medalist wrestler successfully notched a title defense in each division, and his resume includes wins over the likes of former champions Demetrious Johnson, T.J. Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz.
