Former US President Donald Trump has said his favorite fighter in MMA history is the former UFC lightweight champion, a Russian. Khabib Nurmagomedov .
In June of this year, Trump and Nurmagomedov met and talked after the end of the UFC 302 tournament in the United States, where the Russian was the second to Islam Makhachev in the fight against Dustin Poirier.
— Your favorite fighter?
– I think it’s Khabib. He was very good. His record is 29 wins and no losses. He retired from the sport when his father died. He fought many times and didn’t even lose a single round. “He was a great fighter,” Trump said during a broadcast on Aidin Ross’ YouTube channel.
Nurmagomedov announced his retirement in October 2020 after defeating American Justin Gaethje.
