Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his memories of his victory over Rafael dos Anjos in 2014.
“Exactly 8 years ago my fight against dos Anjos took place. Before this fight, he had five victories in a row and after the fight with me he had five victories in a row, and in addition, after my fight, he became a champion.
Since after the fight with him, 2 months later, I tore the anterior cruciate ligaments and dropped out of the championship race for 2 years, and everything that happened after is history...
I divide my professional career into two segments. The first segment is 2008-2016, the second segment is 2016-2021. I will tell you about this segment some other time, ”Khabib wrote on Instagram.
