Chandler: "I'm sure Khabib will end up among the best coaches of the year"

Top UFC lightweight Michael Chandler expressed confidence that Khabib Nurmagomedov will make a great coach.

"But I still wish him all the best in his new endeavors. Maybe he can become one of the greatest coaches in history. I'm sure he'll end up among the best coaches of the year. Looking at the results of his fighters, he is perfectly capable of reaching those heights. "I'm a big fan of him as a man, a leader and a fighter," Chandler said.

Khabib finished his career last October.
