MMA SQUARED: The lightweight division is now ruled by an apex predator

We must consider the idea that the deepest division can be conquered.

It’s the only way we can start to wonder if the greatest lightweight in UFC history might be its current belt holder. If you’ve ever seen a bird of prey snatch up and devour an unsuspecting victim, the cold calculating efficiency of Khabib Nurmagomedov will be familiar. You can’t believe how fast, how ruthless, and how perfectly terrifying these predators are.

Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
