The Russian made the headlines for all the wrong reasons at UFC 229 after he dismantled Conor McGregor in the headliner at the highest grossing MMA pay per view of all time.

Many fans may not have been aware of Khabib prior to the McGregor fight, but make no mistake, the Russian had been building his own legacy at an impressive rate.

Khabib has won all 27 of his professional fights; the most recent 11 have been under the UFC banner.

Making his debut inside the Octagon in January 2012, Khabib defeated Kamal Shalorus via rear naked choke.

Khabib has continued to rack up victories over names such as: Rafael dos Anjos, Edson Barboza and Al Iaquinta, whom he defeated to win the Lightweight Championship.

Khabib's fighting style where he grinds down his opponents with a ground and pound style, which is virtually inescapable, may not be easy on the eye, but it is among the most effective ever seen in MMA history.

Khabib is the real deal and at only 30 years of age, has plenty of time on his side to become the greatest ever fighter in MMA history.
