Logan Paul Thinks Khabib Nurmagomedov Is the “Best Fighter to Ever Grace the Planet”

Daniel Cormier has come out with his list of top fighters of all time and Khabib Nurmagomedov topped Muhammad Ali. This alone has many corners of the MMA world laughing at DC. However, some contact sports stars like Logan Paul have a different opinion.

Logan Paul Backs DC’s Khabib Nurmagomedov Statement

Daniel Cormier came under fire for putting Khabib Nurmagomedov above Muhammad Ali as soon as he revealed his list. The logic was simple from his side, Muhammad Ali did not remain undefeated throughout his career. So, for DC, this was enough to put him behind ‘The Eagle’. However, many boxing and MMA pundits would lose sleep to argue his position away and they are already chomping at the bit.

Nevertheless, Logan Paul thinks that Khabib Nurmagomedov is exactly what DC describes him as. In a tweet with an embedded video from a podcast, Logan Paul makes his statement about ‘The Eagle’s’ position on DC’s list.

“Khabib is the best fighter on the planet ever. I’ve been saying it. He is the best fighter to ever grace the planet. Pound-for-pound of course,” Logan Paul said.

When asked if he also included boxing, he clarified that he was talking about every combat sport.
