3 Things You Didn't Know About Khabib Nurmagomedov

#2 Khabib's less than active schedule:

One of the things that Khabib was pushing in the UFC 229 Presser was that he was much more of an active fighter than Conor McGregor.

McGregor has been away from the Octagon for two years now, although he did fight Floyd 'Money' Mayweather in a boxing match. Due to his inactivity, he was stripped of both of his titles, and this is something of a sore spot for the Irish fighter.

Khabib himself is not that better. In fact, his fight record shows his lax participation in UFC over the last five years. Although he fought three times in 2013, he only fought once in 2014, did not fight at all in 2015, fought twice in 2016, once in 2017, and finally once in 2018. For a person claiming to be an active fighter, 8 times in 6 years is really not much of a total.
