Athletistic/ MMA. Former mixed martial artist, former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis has admitted he doesn’t consider Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov the best lightweight fighter in history.
“I fought at featherweight then moved up to lightweight. I fought everywhere. It’s hard to call Khabib the greatest lightweight because he didn’t fight everyone. He won the title against Al Iaquinta. At that time, he wasn’t even in the game. After fighting some tough fighters and then retiring. It’s hard to call him the greatest,” Pettis said.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has fought 29 professional mixed martial arts bouts, 13 of which were under the auspices of the UFC sports organization. Khabib has won every fight. Nurmagomedov’s last fight was on October 24, 2020: In this one, Khabib defeated American Justin Gaethje by second round choke, defending the UFC lightweight title for the third time.
