Top 5 grapplers in the UFC today

#2 Khabib Nurmagomedov

Three things in life are certain – death, taxes, and Khabib winning his fights

Khabib Kurmagomedov might just be the scariest fighter in the UFC today. He is a grappling machine, recording some unbelievable stats – 37 takedowns, 28 passes, and 3 submission victories – in the UFC alone.

The Eagle, as he is nicknamed, is undefeated throughout his MMA career going 23-0 so far in his career, including being 7-0 in the UFC. He has repeatedly decimated his opponents, regardless of their pedigree, as evidenced by his mauling of veteran Rafael dos Anjos.

The 28-year-old was due a shot at Eddie Alvarez’s lightweight title, but had to take a backseat due to the upcoming UFC 205 clash between Alvarez and Conor McGregor. Numragomedov has made it very clear that regardless of who wins at 205, he will be ready and waiting to take them out.

It’s really difficult to see who could take out the Sambo master with a black belt in Judo. Regardless, if McGregor becomes a dual-weight champion at UFC 205, it makes for a mouthwatering clash between the Irishman and Nurmagomedov.
