Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the best fighters to ever compete in the UFC. Some even consider him to be the GOAT of MMA. Even though it is a far-fetched assessment, he certainly has the credentials to be the GOAT of the lightweight division. Recently, Ali Abdelaziz, the manager of Nurmagomedov, tweeted out a hypothetical scenario that enraged the MMA fans.
Abdelaziz tweeted out that Khabib Nurmagomedov could become a four-division champion in the UFC. Abdelaziz felt it to be possible for the Russian fighter with victories over Leon Edwards, Alex Pereira, and Israel Adesanya to claim the belts of their respective division. Nonetheless, this is what Abdelaziz tweeted.
If a fantasy @TeamKhabib Come back

1- April become the 185 lb champion
2- July become 205 lb lb Champion
3- December become 170lb Champion
Vs Alex Pereira ’ Israel, Adesanya ‘ Edward I truly believe this statistically bad nightmare for all these guys.
Abdelaziz has a penchant for making outrageous remarks, and sometimes it has even got him in trouble. Nonetheless, there is no scenario where Nurmagomedov comes back from retirement. UFC CEO Dana White and AKA head coach Javier Mendez can attest to that.
Nurmagomedov retired after his fight with Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 with a perfect record. He made three defenses of the lightweight title, which is a record he shares alongside Benson Henderson, BJ Penn, and Frankie Edgar. Moreover, he also has the record for a win streak at lightweight with 12. Furthermore, Islam Makhachev became the undisputed UFC lightweight champion under his tutelage.
Fight fans blast Team Khabib Nurmagomedov for controversial tweet
Ali Abdelziz’s controversial yet hilarious tweet did not go unnoticed by the MMA community. As expected, the MMA community blasted the head of Dominance MMA. The MMA community was apprehensive of the manager’s prediction of Nurmagomedov becoming a four-division champion.
Nonetheless, see how the MMA community reacted to the controversial tweet.
Many felt that Abdelaziz’s tweet was baseless. However, there was some support for his idea. Nurmagomedov is one of the most dominant wrestlers ever to compete in the UFC. However, Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, and Leon Edwards are predominantly strikers. Nurmagomedov has out-grappled the likes of former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold at AKA. Moreover, Justin Gaethje has even stated that Nurmagomedov could be unstoppable from 155lbs to 185lbs.
