On Saturday night, Khabib Nurmagomedov defended his UFC lightweight title with a third-round submission win over interim champion Dustin Poirier. It was, for the most part, total domination.
Poirier had brief moments of success in the second and third rounds but ultimately they were fleeting and Nurmagomedov did what he’s done to 27 other men — he smashed him. The win had fans everywhere salivating over the possibility that he and Tony Ferguson may finally lock horns and what that will look like, but it should also have us asking another questions: Is Khabib the 155 pound GOAT?
