Legendary referee John mccarthy He explained why he considers himself a UFC lightweight champion Habiba Nurmagomedova the best fighter in the history of martial arts.
“The first thing I noticed when he entered the Octagon was that he inhaled and exhaled deeply. He was nervous. He is human and that’s the point. On the day of the battle, the fighter can feel that everything is going according to plan, that there is strength, speed and endurance. But sometimes the fight takes place on a day when it feels painful, the actions are not precise, there is no speed and not everything goes as it should. But whatever the day of the fight, he always finds a way to win. On a good day and on a bad day.
He is an incredible fighter and you have to admit that he is the best of all time. There were rounds where St. Pierre lost, John Jones lost. Fedor Emelianenko was at one time considered the best fighter in history, he had an incredible winning streak, but then there were heavy losses and knockouts. I only remember one round where Khabib didn’t win. And he gave it this round, because he decided to rest. He needed to recover due to fatigue. Khabib was out of breath, Conor took the third round. In my opinion, he deliberately took a break, because he knew he had taken the previous two rounds. And in this round I will rest and press again in the next. Tell me at least one who’s done every damn round of his career except one, well, two or three? “
We’ll remember, earlier Nate Diaz reminded Khabib how he slapped him across the face.
