Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former UFC lightweight champion, has been named Best MMA Fighter by ESPN. Nurmagomedov received the prestigious ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) award, which is awarded by ESPN every year to athletes and teams who have achieved outstanding results.

Nurmagomedov ended his fighting career back in October last year. He made an official statement on this right after he defeated Justin Gaethje.
