The UFC lightweight rankings just got a whole lot more interesting, without even factoring in the question of whether champion Khabib Nurmagomedov really has retired. A division in which Conor McGregor is no better than the sixth-ranked contender speaks to how intense matchups will be through the remainder of 2021.
All things considered, Nurmagomedov might be walking away from the sport he dominates for the one he loves. It would be 10% of the pain and twice as fun.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is the best UFC fighter out there
Khabib Nurmagomedov is regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC and one of the greatest mixed martial arts competitors ever. Nurmagomedov earned the UFC lightweight championship in April 2018 with a unanimous decision over Al Iaquinta. He has since successfully defended by registering submissions of Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje.
YouTube star turned boxer Logan Paul has a message for Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Logan is currently slated for a high profile exhibition bout with undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. At the same time, his brother Jake has also been making headlines in the combat world, having recently knocked out former NBA star Nate Robinson, and called out a host of MMA stars, most notably former two-division UFC champ Conor McGregor.
White, like everybody else with an Internet connection, has been hearing plenty about the Logan and Jake over the last few weeks, and already seems to be growing tired of it.
