Cormier - about Khabib: "He was impossible to beat"

Alexandr Ormanji March 16, 2026, 4:41 a.m.

The former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier shared his views on Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"We have not seen a mindset like Khabib's. Sometimes you wonder how a fighter will behave, but with Khabib, it wasn't a question. He was always a champion. He was impossible to beat. If you were allowed to take a chrome bat into the octagon, you might be able to beat him. Khabib was good, he knew exactly what he would do, and you knew exactly what this guy would do, but it didn't matter."
