The former UFC lightweight champion (154 pounds) and the former leader of the pound-for-pound rating, Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov met with his friend and the current holder of the organization’s welterweight title (169 pounds), Nigerian Kamaru Usman, as he told on social networks.
In particular, Nurmagomedov considered the “Nigerian nightmare” the best UFC fighter, regardless of the weight category.
“With the best fighter in the world, regardless of the weight category,” the fighter signed a joint photo.
Recall that at the UFC 268 tournament, Usman will have a rematch with American Colby Covington.
