Fans Disagree With Khabib Nurmagomedov: UFC News: In the words of fellow Russian and former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, Zabit Magomedsharipov is “the best featherweight in the world.” Follow UFC News Updates with InsideSports.IN.
In his recent retirement from mixed martial arts, Nurmagomedov forfeited the 155-pound UFC championship. He is still one of the best fighters in the world, therefore his viewpoint is very important. The current UFC champion Alex Volkanovski is at the top of the list of the finest featherweights in the world, and Max Holloway is immediately behind him. However, according to “The Eagle,” Magomedsharipov is the greatest featherweight in the league.

Khabib Nurmagomedov Names The Best Featherweight Fighter: Fans Disagree ‘Not Even Top 6’
The current UFC star Magomedsharipov was cornering one of his teammates when the previously unbeaten UFC lightweight champion assisted his cousin Usman in beating Mike Hamel on his Bellator debut.
Magomedsharipov was hailed by Nurmagomedov as the best featherweight in the world on social media. Magomedsharipov was ranked third in the UFC when Khabib Nurmagomedov made the claim that he was the finest featherweight fighter.
Well, this statement of Khabib wasn’t very well accepted by the fans, as they commented “ No, he would get absolutely smashed by Volk”.
“Not even top 6.”
There were numerous other comments similar to this, to mention a few:
The 30-year-old Russian has an overall record of 18-1 in mixed martial arts, is currently on a 14-fight winning streak, and his most recent defeat was in 2013. With victories over Mike Santiago, Calvin Kattar, Jeremy Stephens, Brandon Davis, Kyle Boachniak, and Sheymon Moraes, Magomedsharipov has a perfect 6-0 record since joining the UFC roster in 2017. By all appearances, he is someone who, as Nurmagomedov did, has all the makings of a potential UFC champion.

Magomedsharipov’s issue has been a lack of engagement; he hasn’t engaged in combat since defeating Kattar in November 2019. Since that time, Kattar has engaged in combat three times but Magomedsharipov has not. Magomedsharipov is currently in a holding pattern despite the fact that Yair Rodriguez withdrew from several battles against him; this was not his fault.
