Contrary to popular belief, Khabib Nurmagomedov is way more than just a one man 'smashing' machine.

Don't get me wrong, he is definitely one of the single greatest maulers in the history of MMA and any time a fighter is caught in his grasps, you can pretty much call the fight there and then. However, to simply label him as a grappler is quite disrespectful and naive.

Throughout his MMA career, he has routinely showed off the ability to land shots capable of obliterating a rival's face. Leaping uppercuts, overarm bombs and devastating elbows have caught out numerous opponents over the years. Therefore, standing and striking with 'The Eagle' invites a potentially frightening conclusion to your bout.

Then there's Khabib's black belt in Judo and his status as one of the top Combat Sambo stars in the game today, which often leads to fighters being constantly flipped around the Octagon against their own will.

A mean striker, merciless body manipulator and a fighter capable of snapping your joints like breadsticks, it feels offensive to even suggest that the 28-0 Khabib is one of the most overlooked all-rounders in the UFC today. But, as long as people feel the need to brand him as a fighter who just wants to squeeze the life out of you, he'll continue to surprise them with his box of many, many tricks.
