UFC legend status: Khabib Nurmagomedov

The undisputed lightweight king who comes in with a 29-0 record has already set himself up as one of the best to ever do it. What’s more, he’s been at the helm of arguably the most competitive weight class in modern UFC history. Despite his dominance over former champions like Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor, and Justin Gaethje, there are still game challengers.

Fighters like Charles Oliveira and possibly Michael Chandler have emerged as stars in different aspects. Not to mention, there is always the compelling narrative to have ‘The Eagle’ fight the welterweight champion to accrued a second belt. The possibilities are truly immersive for someone like Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Chiefly, this is primarily the reason fans want to see more of what Khabib has to offer, his dominance has set him apart. However, there’s something to be said for leaving the sport in a blaze of mystery and intrigue. The reasons that made Nurmagomedov walk away come in as a known matter to fans of the sport. However, there’s a demand to see more of his greatness.
