A fan took to social media to make Jones accept that Nurmagomedov is the greatest fighter of all time. In response, Jones said he wished Nurmagomedov had stayed active and proved that he’s the GOAT before sarcastically agreeing with the fan.
Khabib Nurmagomedov retired from MMA last year with a perfect 29-0 record. He retired as the UFC lightweight champion. It was not just his undefeated record but his dominant performances inside the octagon that set Khabib apart from other fighters.
Nurmagomedov incredibly never suffered as much as a cut while competing against elite fighters in one of the most violent sports on the planet. In 29 fights, Khabib Nurmagomedov lost just one solitary round - in his grudge match against Conor McGregor at UFC 229
Many believe that Justin Gaethje also took a round off Nurmagomedov in the Dagestani’s last outing.
