Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson has high praise for Khabib Nurmagomedov after ‘The Eagle’s’ recent induction into the UFC Hall of Fame. DJ’s only wish is that he got to see Nurmagomedov fight more often during his prime.
Nurmagomedov retired after his 29th professional fight to cap off one of the most impressive runs in MMA history. The former UFC lightweight champion retired undefeated — 29-0 — with thirteen straight victories in the UFC and three title defenses to his name.
The crowning moment of his career was when he submitted Conor McGregor to retain his lightweight title in 2018.
