Khabib Nurmagomedov has had a lot to say in regards to the UFC’s lightweight division and its most recent champion Charles Oliveira — most notably it being unfair to compare Oliveira’s 155-pound run to his at this point. Is Nurmagomedov right or closer to the truth than he is willing to admit.
This episode of Heck of a Morning features Mike Heck, MMA Fighting, reacting to Nurmagomedov’s interview with ESPN. He also discusses Oliveira’s status as a lightweight GOAT and Islam Makhachev as the champion of his division. In addition, listeners ask about Conor McGregor’s potential return, Michael Chandler’s recent comments in support of the UFC when it comes to the fighter pay debate, the PFL instituting a 50-50 split for their new PPV Super Fight division after getting a $30 million investment from a group that includes former MLB star Alex Rodriguez, and much more.
You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 8 a.m. ET at the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
