If you ever wanted to design a perfect fighter, then good luck finding a better place to start than Khabib’s homeland of Dagestan. It’s a war torn mountainous terrain where you either wrestle or get drafted into harsh military regimes. It’s diificult to imagine the man getting nervous for a fight considering he literally wrestled bears as an 8 year old child...

Khabib has smashed the light weight division since he made his UFC debut. He’s gone through all the top prospects with little to no struggle. He has faced precision strikers like Connor McGregor all the way to Jiu-Jitsu black belt Rafael dos Anjos. It doesn’t matter what style is thrown at the Dagestani. He’ll push forward, drag you to the floor and break you. Every opponent Khabib faces has that lifeless look of despair … if they manage to make it past the first round.

To perform at this level and never slip up is remarkable. Khabib has a perfect record of 28-0 and that’s not changing anytime soon.
