According to the former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, the second position after him in the ranking of the best fighters representing the lightweight category in history should be a member of the UFC Hall of Fame, former UFC champion – B. J. Penn.

The fighter is firmly convinced that among those who managed to realize themselves as a lightweight fighter, the most outstanding is B. J. Penn. Even taking into account the fact that during his career he suffered several defeats, at the moment he is showing good results, he managed to defend his title of champion, move to another category and get another belt. After that, he was defeated by George St. Pierre. But this is quite enough to give him the second place.

B. J. Penn himself has already completed his career as a fighter, and does not plan to return.
