Khabib Nurmagomedov a huge fan of burgers

The undefeated UFC lightweight champion has always been a big fan of burgers. Last year, after he defeated Dustin Poirier at UFC 242, he told Megan Olivi that he would love to have some burgers with steaks and cola. It appears Khabib has continued the tradition this year as he was seen asking for a cheeseburger in a viral video posted by his head coach Javier Mendez.

"Tonight is going to be unstoppable. I deserve this," Khabib says to Mendez while looking at the cheeseburger being made for him and his teammates.

After the bout, everyone in the MMA bubble praised Khabib Nurmagomedov, including Dana White, who called him “the baddest motherf***er on the planet”. He then hailed him as ‘the number one pound-for-pound fighter’ in the UFC, which got a mixed reaction from fans. Although Khabib Nurmagomedov had fewer title defences, he was the most dominant fighter in the UFC. He has the highest winning streak, having lost only two rounds in his entire UFC career.

“He is the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and you seriously have to start putting him up there at GOAT status with whoever else you think is the GOAT,” White said at the post-fight conference.
