Russian Bellator fighter Vitaly Minakov spoke about the president’s words UFC Dana White, who did not include Khabib Nurmagomedov in the top three greatest fighters in history.
“Dana White made this rating based on the number of championship belt defenses, most likely. In this regard, I agree with him. Jones, St-Pierre and Silva are the greatest fighters. Khabib spent three years in the organization, which is relatively short. He’s only defended the belt a few times, he’s certainly beaten a few fighters of name and reputation, but that’s not enough.
The zero in the column of his defeats means nothing in this regard. For Russia, Khabib is a powerful figure, but, looking at this rating and the criterion for compiling it, I completely agree, ”RBC Sport quotes Minakov.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has 29 wins in 29 MMA fights. The Russian retired in October 2020.
