UFC legend Daniel Cormier praises former teammate Khabib Nurmagomedov

Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier recently praised Khabib Nurmagomedov during an episode of ESPN’s Good Guy / Bad Guy. Notably, Nurmagomedov and Cormier trained together for many years at the American Kickboxing Academy.

When asked by Chael Sonnen who he thinks is the "Michael Jordan of MMA," Cormier chose Nurmagomedov. He explained that Nurmagomedov’s undefeated career in the UFC is like Jordan’s perfect record in the NBA Finals, showing his dominance and greatness in the sport. He said:

"If Jon Jones is not the Michael Jordan of MMA then who is? It's gotta be Khabib, he never lost. Think about this, Jordan made the finals, Jordan never lost in the finals. So if we're talking about that, then yes. If you take everything Jones ever did, obviously, he's in that conversation, but it's Khabib for me."

Check out Daniel Cormier's comments below (2:01):

'The Eagle' retired with an undefeated record of 29 wins. He was the UFC lightweight champion from 2018 to 2021 and is considered one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.
