Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (27-0) has challenged undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather (50-0) saying “in the jungle, there is only one king.”

The Dagestani grappler beat Irish striker Conor McGregor on Oct. 6 by a fourth-round submission at UFC 229 in Las Vegas. But “The Eagle” not only submitted “The Notorious,” he also landed a perfectly-timed punch to the Irish fighter’s jaw, sending him to the canvas for the first time in the Irishman’s UFC career.
