Khabib Nurmagomedov is widely considered the greatest UFC lightweight champion of all time, but not everyone sees it that way.
Anthony Pettis, for one, would like to remind everyone that Nurmagomedv won the lightweight championship by beating Al Iaquinta, who wasn’t even ranked in the top ten when they fought at UFC 223.
Not only that, but Khabib only defended his title three times albeit against elite-level competition, beating Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje via submission.
Pettis, a former UFC lightweight champion who now competes in the PFL, acknowledges Khabib is one of the greatest of all time but not the greatest.
