This past weekend Khabib Nurmagomedov made his highly anticipated return to the Octagon and defeated UFC newcomer Darrell Horcher to extend his undefeated record to 23-0. The fight was Nurmagomedov’s first since defeating Rafael dos Anjos, who is now the UFC champion, back in April of 2014.
With yesterday being the 2 year anniversary of Nurmagomedov’s win over RDA, ‘The Eagle’ sent a Tweet to the champ, which resulted in a Twitter war.
@TeamKhabib since that I've beat Ben Henderson,Diaz,Pettis,Cowboy and you beat a guy with fulltime job.
