Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov thanked the American promotion for being included in the Hall of Fame.
“I don't have words to describe it. Thank you very much, UFC,” Nurmagomedov wrote on Instagram.
Nurmagomedov (29-0) has won all 13 fights in the UFC. In 2018, the Russian won the championship belt in the lightweight division, and then held three successful defenses. In October 2020, after defeating Justin Gaethje by submission, Khabib announced his retirement.
