Nurmagomedov (28-0) made his UFC debut back in 2012 and has gone unbeaten at the highest level of the sport since then as he’s racked up an incredible 12-0 record inside the Octagon. In Nurmagmedov’s most recent bout at UFC 242 last September, he submitted Dustin Poirier with a rear-naked choke. Nurmagomedov also holds notable career wins over Conor McGregor, Al Iaquinta, Edson Barboza, Michael Johnson, and Rafael dos Anjos. With a win here over Gaethje, Nurmagomedov could fight GSP in a legacy fight next.

Gaethje (22-2) made his UFC debut in 2017 and has since racked up a 5-2 record inside the Octagon. In his last four fights, he has picked up for knockout victories over Tony Ferguson, Donald Cerrone, Edson Barboza, and James Vick. Gaethje has always been one of the most exciting fighters on the UFC roster but his overall game has really started to get picked up in recent years. No longer does he just go forward with reckless abandon, but now he exhibits excellent defense as well, making him an incredibly dangerous fighter.
