Daniel Cormier names Khabib Nurmagomedov as MMA's greatest fighter

Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier has excluded Jon Jones and Anderson Silva from the debate regarding the greatest mixed martial artist of all time (GOAT). Speaking on the ALF Global podcast, Cormier stated that any issues with anti-doping tests disqualify an athlete from being considered the best in history.

Cormier narrowed the discussion to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre. He ultimately selected Nurmagomedov as the top fighter due to his undefeated professional record of 29-0. Cormier noted that maintaining an undefeated streak is exceptionally difficult in MMA, particularly when facing high-level opponents early in a career.
