Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0) is still UFC lightweight champion following his Saturday night performance against the challenger Dustin Poirier (25-6).
The hype was real, as both fighters came to the Octagon ready for war, but once again the Russian fighter demonstrated that he is really on another level. This is exactly why Khabib will be cashing on some 7 digit numbers, reportedly 21 times better than Dustin Poirier and 3 to 3.5 times better than his previous clash with Conor McGregor.
