UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov is arguably the promotion’s best-kept secret, boasting a rarely-seen 20-0 record, including a 4-0 mark inside the Octagon. Despite his impressive resume, “The Eagle” is generally absent on the top 10 rankings of the UFC’s 155-pound division. His manager, Sam Kardan, says his camp doesn’t worry about petty things like arbitrary fighter […]
