Ali Abdelaziz boldly positioned Usman Nurmagomedov above Charles Oliveira on the GOAT list in his X post. Abdelaziz represents ‘Team Khabib.’ The statement on X (Formerly Twitter) has sent shockwaves through the MMA community,
This audacious assertion comes amidst Oliveira’s soaring reputation in the UFC. Even though he was hit and miss at featherweight, Oliveira at lightweight has defeated a string of legends of the game. Abdelaziz wrote, “Usman Nurmagomedov is above Charles Olivera on the goat list.” Abdelaziz’s tweet was met with disbelief, shock, and excitement among fans and pundits alike. One notable fan reaction encapsulated the sentiment of many, “Please some humility brother.” This comment underscores the surprise felt by many.
Given Oliveira’s recent performances and accomplishments within the sport, he is arguably just behind Khabib Nurmagomedov in the lightweight GOAT list. Oliveira, the former lightweight champion, recently defeated Beneil Dariush at UFC 289. Contrarily, Usman Nurmagomedov, the Bellator lightweight champion, boasts an undeniable talent. Nurmagomedov, like his cousin, has the potential to be a GOAT. However, many argue that placing him above Oliveira in the GOAT discussion may be premature.
Abdelaziz’s bold claim has sparked fierce debates across the MMA community. Many fans appreciate a passionate discussion about the sport’s greats. However, some have seen Abdelaziz’s statement as potentially a promotional tactic. Usman Nurmagomedov headlined the recently concluded Bellator 300 event opposite Brent Primus. It was a matchup in the semi-finals of the Bellator Lightweight Grand Prix. Nurmagomedov won by a dominant unanimous decision.
