Former UFC heavyweight Daniel Cormier has ranked Khabib Nurmagomedov higher than Muhammad Ali on his all-time greatest fighter list.
Nurmagomedov is considered one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history having retired as an undefeated lightweight champion having defeated the likes of Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. Legendary boxing heavyweight Ali, meanwhile, is considered one of the most successful and influential sportspeople of all time for his impact inside and outside of the ring.
The late Ali defeated some of the era's greatest stars including Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston and George Foreman before retiring after losing to Trevor Berbick in 1981. However UFC legend Cormier has placed both undefeated star Floyd Mayweather and Nurmagomedov above Ali in first and second place, with UFC stars Georges St Pierre and Amanda Nunes rounding off his top five.
