Khabib 'The Eagle' Nurmagomedov
As the undisputed and unbeaten UFC Lightweight Champion, Russia's Khabib Nurmagomedov is not far from putting an end to the debate over who is the best lightweight fighter of all time. The Eagle, who arrived in the ranks of the elites in 2012, literally rolled over all of his opponents, and eventually secured a title fight against Al Iaquinta in 2018. He then won the belt by unanimous decision.
The Russian now has two title defences in his trophy cabinet, both of which were acquired by submission, against Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. Khabib, 31, has 28 wins and no losses to his name. If he is able to maintain his undefeated record, he could well retire from the sport, and claim the title of the best fighter of all time.
