The former UFC lightweight star Khabib Nurmagomedov recently reckoned that there is no chance of José Aldo having a second career peak in MMA. He is currently on a two-fight winning streak and after that many believe that Aldo is close to his best and possibly could even have a second peak.
Khabib called Conor McGregor a scared chicken
Speaking during a Gorilla Energy press conference, “The Eagle” responded to a reporter who suggested his theory was proved wrong by Aldo’s performance on August 7.
He said:
“How is he showing it? He got beat up when he fought… Who’d he fight? He fought Petr (Yan) right? A guy wins one fight and everyone starts talking.” (h/t LowKickMMA)
Khabib went on to bring up his arch-rival Conor McGregor and the Russian star said that people also suggested the Irishman was on his way to the top again after his victory over veteran campaigner Donald Cerrone, something which has been quickly dismissed following two defeats against Dustin Poirier this year.

“When Conor fought Cowboy he looked like a lion. When he fights stronger opponents, he looks like scared chicken. Fighting top fighters shows your worth. Like I said – the level of Russia’s football team will be shown against Croatia, not Malta. A fight against Cowboy won’t show what level you’re at. Just like Aldo’s fight against Pedro Munhoz.”
