Khabib Nurmagomedov

Climbing a barrier to start a fight takes commitment, and this guy’s attack ended with a spectacular fall instead. Fueled by rage, he hauls himself over the railing for an explosive swing, only to lose his footing and crash to the ground before landing anything meaningful. Even in mixed martial arts, going over a barrier rarely ends well, as Khabib Nurmagomedov learned when he leapt the cage after UFC 229 in 2018 and received a nine-month suspension. In 2026, this relentless but devastating miscalculation is a reminder that gravity remains undefeated. #ufc #mma #streetfight #funny #viral

Former UFC champion Henry Cejudo just dropped a massive claim today about Khabib Nurmagomedov! 👀 Cejudo says: "Khabib turned to Sambo because he was not good enough at wrestling." 🤼‍♂️ Coming from an Olympic Wrestling Gold Medalist, is this a valid take? 🎥: (@doublecoverage)

Speaking about pound-for-pound greats, the former BMF champion claimed that prime José Aldo would beat Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, and Jon Jones if weight classes didn't exist. 🗣️ "The only guy I would send in there who could represent strikers would be Aldo. He would probably beat them all." Masvidal’s reasoning comes down to Aldo’s legendary takedown defense. Throughout his prime, the "King of Rio" shut down elite collegiate and freestyle wrestlers like Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar with over 90% defensive wrestling efficiency, punishing them with leg kicks and knees.

Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev are childhood friends from Dagestan who became the UFC’s most dominant brotherhood. Long before the gold, the pair grew up training under Khabib’s late father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, and off the mats they were just two young friends trash-talking over Call of Duty. Khabib retired as the undefeated lightweight champion with a perfect 29-0 record, then became Islam’s mentor and cornerman, guiding his relentless wrestling and ruthless top control. In 2026, Islam carries that mission forward as the UFC welterweight champion, breaking Anderson Silva’s record with 17 straight Octagon wins, proof their phenomenal bond runs far beyond mixed martial arts. #ufc #mma #khabibmurmagomedov #islammakachev
