Khabib Nurmagomedov defeats Michael Johnson, Calls McGregor A Chicken

By Trevor Peele

The headline fight for UFC 205 is a lightweight title fight between Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez but most believe the best lightweight fighter is Khabib Nurmagomedov. If you are unfamiliar with Nurmagomedov, he just improved to 24-0 in MMA (8-0 in the UFC) as he defeated Michael Johnson via kimura in the third round.

There has been no question that Nurmagomedov has dominated his competition in the UFC and he voiced his emotions during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. Nurmagomedov continuously called McGregor "a chicken" and pleaded for a title shot.

Regardless of who holds the belt after UFC 205, you can expect Nurmagomedov to be next in line.
