Nurmagomedov is a former world sambo champion which made him a monster on the ground. The fighter absolutely demolished everyone whoever came in his way. Nurmagomedov has a perfect professional record of 29-0 with 19 finishes.

Initially, Nurmagomedov was known only for his ground game but as he grew he developed his skills on the feet. The fighter had an amazing defence and rarely took any heavy hits from his opponents. In a sport where fighters bleed, get injured and lose every time, Nurmagomedov never bled or lost.

Nurmagomedov is highly considered as the UFC lightweight GOAT for his dominance and title defences against tough opponents. The ‘Eagle’ was also the part of the biggest pay-per-view event of UFC history when he and Conor McGregor fought at UFC 268.
