Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Daniel Cormier believes former UFC lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov deserves every bit of his accomplishment.
You know, Khabib deserves absolutely everything he has. Because he's not just a great fighter, he's also a great person. A husband, a father and a lot more. And there's also the dedication and attention that he gives to his team. He leaves his family behind to be there for his team. He took the best from his father. We can only be proud of him.

Khabib announced his MMA career was over after defeating Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October 2020. He has 29 wins and no losses under his belt. Nurmagomedov was also the UFC lightweight champion with three title defenses.
