Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov named three dream fights that he never had.
“First, this is Georges St-Pierre. I really respect this guy and grew up on his fights. When he became UFC champion in 2007, I hadn't even started my professional career yet. I was an amateur, and my father and I watched all his fights. He is my role model in MMA. Of course, I can't help but name Tony Ferguson. This fight never took place. And when Anthony Pettis was the UFC champion in 2014-2015, I really wanted to fight this guy, but then he lost the title in a fight against Rafael dos Anjos, and after that his career went down, and he never could return. So it's Anthony Pettis, Tony Ferguson, and Canadian superstar GSP."
Recall that Khabib ended his fighting career in October 2020.
