Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former UFC fighter, is one of the greatest fighters in the history of MMA. His record in the lightweight division is nothing short of phenomenal. Recently, a video has been circulating on social media, showing Khabib pinning former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold to the ground. This feat is impressive, and it speaks to Khabib’s strength and skill as a fighter.
Khabib’s record of 29-0 is remarkable in itself, but what makes it even more impressive is the fact that he never lost a single round against any of his opponents.
This is a testament to his impeccable Sambo skills and his Dagestani training roots. Khabib Nurmagomedov’s ability to dominate his opponents in every round he fought is a testament to his outstanding fighting ability.
The Eagle’s dominance is so great that he was able to make Conor McGregor, one of the biggest stars of the UFC, look like a rookie in their fight. Khabib’s skills have not gone unnoticed, as he has now turned to coaching.
He has taken under his wing the current lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev, to whom he is passing on his knowledge and skills. Khabib is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter, and his legacy in the sport of MMA will be felt for years to come.

As the video progresses, Rockhold can be heard warning Khabib not to get too comfortable. In response, Khabib jokingly explains that he’s just hugging Rockhold because he misses his old friend.
The coach at the end of the video comments on how Rockhold may have woken up the sleeping bear. This footage serves as a reminder of Khabib’s incredible skill as a fighter and his enduring popularity among fans of the sport.
The Eagle wants to train Gane
Former UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov has once made an invitation to Ciryl Gane to train with him in Dagestan. Back in 2022, Khabib expressed his desire to train the French fighter in wrestling, stating that it would take about two years for Gane to improve his skills.
It’s unclear whether Gane has taken up the offer, but training with Khabib could be a game-changer for Gane’s career.
He said,
“Ciryl Gane come to Dagestan brother. You have to come to Dagestan, stay there one and a half, two years, learn about wrestling…We have a lot of heavyweights who can wrestle with him. He has to learn wrestling and after a few years he can be champion.”
This offer comes after Gane’s defeat to Jon Jones in their recent fight, where Jones made quick work of him using his wrestling skills. If Gane were to train with Khabib, he could potentially improve his wrestling abilities and prevent future losses to fighters like Jones.
It remains to be seen whether Gane will accept Khabib’s offer and what impact it could have on his fighting career.
