Khabib"The Eagle" Nurmagomedov proved yet again he’s a cut above the rest as he successfully defended his UFC lightweight championship against the interim champion Justin"The Highlight" Gaethje in an emotional main event of UFC 254 on Sunday, October 25 at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
With his exit, Nurmagomedov moved to a 13-0 record in the UFC, which includes big-time wins against Edson Barboza, Dustin Porier and Conor McGregor. Currently, Nurmagomedov sits at No. 2 in the pound-for-pound list, just behind former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. UFC president Dana White joined the tributes and revealed at a news conference as Fight Island ended that Nurmagomedov had broken his foot in the build-up to Saturday's event."Apparently he was in the hospital. He broke his foot 3 weeks ago. So he has two broken toes and a bone in his foot that's broken – that's what his corner was telling me. Never told anybody.
In the co-main event, Robert “The Reaper” Whittaker maintained his No. 1 contender status after his convincing decision victory over Jared “The Killa Gorilla” Cannonier .
