4 Potential opponents for Ben Askren in the UFC

#2 Khabib Nurmagomedov

The man with the longest undefeated streak in professional MMA

From one of the hottest stars of the yesteryears to one of the most talked about stars of the UFC right now, Khabib Nurmagomedov has cemented his position as one of the greatest Lightweights in UFC history following his dominating victory over Connor McGregor at UFC 229. To merely say that Khabib shut his critics and naysayers in his fight against McGregor will be a gross understatement.

Khabib has become a big-time star in the UFC following his victory over McGregor and he currently holds the longest undefeated streak in MMA History at a staggering 27-0 record. But alas, all good things must come to an end right?

And @TeamKhabib I’ll meet you at 165 to determine the best MMA grappler on planet earth! You just name the time and send location.

Ben Askren is an opponent that we believe will be the perfect foil for the Dagestani. Like Khabib, Askren is undefeated in MMA and has finished his opponents in his last three fights. Askren is one of the best wrestlers in MMA and is someone whom many believe that all the tools to snap the undefeated streak of Nurmagamedov. This one is going to be one of the biggest fights in the company's history as it will pit two undefeated behemoths against one another.
