UFC: Khabib Nurmagomedov recalls his record-setting victory against Abel Trujillo

Khabib Nurmagomedov has vanquished UFC superstars like Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, but ‘The Eagle’ revealed that he considers his victory against Abel Trujillo to be one of his best. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Abel Trujillo locked horns at UFC 160 and the Dagestani fighter unleashed one-sided dominance throughout the bout. The three-round lightweight contest saw both men going the distance, but Khabib kept mauling Trujillo in every round. Khabib Nurmagomedov also set a new record in that fight. The current UFC lightweight champion successfully took down Abel Trujillo 21 times in the contest, which is still the record for the most number of takedowns in a UFC fight. Khabib took to Instagram this week and acknowledged the record he set seven years ago at UFC 160.

“At this fight, which happened 7 years ago, I placed a record in #UFC 21 takedowns in single fight. Month before the fight I injured my knee and wasn’t able to take opponents back. Decision to make was very simple: just grab and throw your opponent for 15 minutes straight. If there is a desire, there will always be a solution.” Wrote Khabib Nurmagomedov in the caption.
