First Anthony Pettis, then Dana White, and now Big John McCarthy.
All three MMA personalities have called into question Khabib Nurmagomedov’s GOAT status following ‘The Eagle’s’ recent induction into the UFC Hall of Fame, with McCarthy agreeing with White that Nurmagomedov retired too early to be considered the best.
Khabib’s dominance isn’t in question, with McCarthy admitting that Nurmagomedov is the most dominant fighter to step foot in the UFC. But the fact remains that he only defended his lightweight title three times and didn’t stick around for long when he was at the top, opting to retire in the prime of his career following his father's death.
