Khabib Nurmagomedov sees his win over Conor McGregor as the best moment of his professional career.
The former UFC lightweight champion was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Thursday and reflected on his impressive run that concluded when he retired following his second-round submission win over Justin Gaethje nearly two years ago. His storied UFC career included wins over notable names such as Rafael dos Anjos, Al Iaquinta and Dustin Poirier, but none of them compare to when he defeated McGregor at UFC 229.
“It was here — this arena — Oct. 6, 2018,” said Nurmagomedov (video provided by MMA Fighting).
