Mairbek Khasiev, founder of the ASA promotion, said he doesn't think that former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is the greatest fighter.

"I didn't want to be bombarded with questions about Khabib. Everyone has their own understanding of the greatest fighter or boxer. For example, I don't consider Ali the greatest boxer, but I consider him a great man. And the best boxer I thought at the time was Foreman. And I was once asked about Khabib, and I said I don't think he's the best fighter ever. Ah, a lightweight? Let me see twenty different lightweight fights, and then I'll answer that question. But as a human being Khabib is a good guy, a good Muslim, I have nothing against him," said Khasiev.
