Khabib Nurmagomedov is undoubtedly one of the best MMA fighters in the history of the MMA world and finally ended his career while still being undefeated and at the top. Since his retirement, Khabib has been enjoying life in other ways. Nurmagomedov’s last professional MMA fight took place back in October 2020. He earned a second-round submission victory over Justin Gaethje to successfully retain the UFC Lightweight Title. After the bout, an emotional Nurmagomedov told Jon Anik that his fighting career is over. He mentioned a promise he made to his mother of never fighting again after the death of his father Abdulmanap. Khabib also revealed why he really tired from the MMA world.
Khabib recently to a reporter from ES News about Henry Cejudo’s next fight, where he talked about who is the great professional boxer in the world for him right now.
“Right now? I truly believe Tyson Fury is the best. Heavyweight and undefeated and he beat everybody. Like very close, like Canelo, Usyk, Crawford, like all these guys very close. Like just my opinion like top like Tyson Fury right now.
“I know, I know. Like winner, they have to fight versus Tyson Fury-Wilder winner. Like a semifinal. But right now, I believe Tyson Fury is the best.”
