Top Russian lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov has some of the best credentials in the UFC today.
An undefeated fighter and combat sambo world champion, Khabib has the skillset to best anyone, and do so mostly unscathed.
At just 26-years-old he’s amassed an impressive 22-0 record, with six UFC wins, and he’s salivating every time the champ Anthony Pettis is mentioned.
Instead of our usual he-said-she-said threads of twitter beef, we’re bringing you a more in-depth look at Khabib’s obsession with the champ.
Check it:

Just heard I got skipped for my title shot. Scared Pettis is fighting somebody else. I predict he loses. @arielhelwani

I heard @danawhite said Pettis is p4p number 1. I respect Dana but this is crazy. That means when I beat him I will be p4p king
