The Eagle’s Best Cards
There are few fighters in the history of the Octagon who have been as dominant as Khabib Nurmagomedov. Yes, his fights were even more dominant than GOAT Jon Jones: The Eagle only lost two rounds in his entire UFC run, and no one ever came close to beating him. Nurmagomedov introduced a new level of smothering wrestling to the UFC, and he made history in the lightweight division and the company by retiring undefeated at 29-0.
So let’s look back in awe at Khabib’s Hall of Fame career with the newly-released 2024 Topps Gold Label UFC, 2024 Topps Midnight UFC, 2024 Topps UFC Chrome®, 2024 Topps Knockout UFC, and some historical UFC sets that hold the Khabib cards you need to collect.
