Khabib Nurmagomedov believes Usman Nurmagomedov is better than Ilia Topuria

Khabib Nurmagomedov does not appear to view Ilia Topuria as the best 155-pound fighter on the planet and believes that his cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov, is a more well-rounded fighter.

'The Eagle' appeared in an interview with the PFL, where he stated that Usman is the better fighter in his opinion.

"They have to fight [to find out who is the best]. People can talk, they can say whatever they want. It’s my opinion, like, well-rounded fighter, I think Usman is better."
