He held the title in the UFC from April 2018 to March 2021, making him the longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion ever.

In 2020, Khabib retired with a record of 29 victories and zero defeats. On June 30, 2022, Nurmagomedov, who is regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

Nurmagomedov has experience in sambo, judo, and wrestling. He is a two-time Combat Sambo World Champion. At the time of his retirement, Nurmagomedov was ranked first in the UFC pound-for-pound rankings. He is rated as the best lightweight of all time by the Fight Matrix.

Nurmagomedov, a native of the Russian Republic of Dagestan, is the first Muslim to hold a UFC title. Additionally, he is an MMA promoter best known for promoting the Eagle Fighting Championship (EFC).

What is Khabib Nurmagomedov's fighting style?

Nurmagomedov's wrestling-based style of relentless pressure on his opponents is often referred to as "mauling." He forces his opponents against the cage and locks up their legs and arms to prevent them from escaping, using a variety of wrestling and judo/sambo takedowns.

Nurmagomedov attacks with measured strikes that his opponents are frequently unable to defend while he presses his weight against them from this position, exhausting them. Nineteen of his twenty-nine career victories—out of his total of twenty-nine—were obtained through TKO/KO or submission.

Randy Couture, a former three-time UFC Heavyweight Champion and a former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, called Nurmagomedov "brilliant."

“He’s the most terrifying lightweight contender in the world,” and “he’s just on such another level (of grappling) that the odds of beating him drop significantly after the first minute and a half," said MMA commentator Joe Rogan.
