“No one dominates their opponents like Khabib does, and retiring undefeated, as lightweight champion and number one athlete in the world is a tremendous achievement. It is an honor to have him inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer.”

Nurmagomedov won the lightweight title in 2018 and defended it until he officially announced his retirement in October 2020 in one of the most memorable events in mixed martial arts history.
