Khabib Nurmagomedov said his cousin Usman Nurmagomedov has reached elite world level.
Khabib claimed Usman now matches Ilia Topuria despite never fighting in the UFC.
Usman competes in the Professional Fighters League and defends his title in Dubai this weekend.
Khabib said Usman’s rapid growth came through direct training and constant sparring.
He added that time will confirm whether Usman can dominate UFC lightweights.
The prediction echoes long-held beliefs of coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov about his nephew’s future.
