PHOTO | Khabib blasts Alvarez “You only have one UFC victory”
Khabib Nurmagomedov is not impresses with current UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez’s latest win streak. In fact, “The Eagle” is claiming that Alvarez really only has one legitimate UFC victory under his belt.
Here is what Nurmagomedov had to say about Alvarez on Instagram:
Just last week Eddie Alvarez stated that Khabib was not deserving of his top ranking in the UFC’s 155-pound division because of “The Eagle’s” lengthy absence due to injuries.
“Khabib’s fought once in three years and he’s number one and he decides he wants a title shot?” Alvarez said on Sirius/XM Radio. “The last guy he beat was virtually unranked - maybe top 100 in the world - and he’s the number one guy in the world. So who says that? Who makes that up? Who appoints him number one?”
Nurmagomedov returned to the UFC at April’s UFC on FOX 19 event where he scored a second-round TKO victory over UFC newcomer Darrel Horcher.
