Although they are from two different sports, Mike Tyson and Khabib Nurmagomedov are both generally considered two of the best hunters ever.
Although he retired while he is at the top of his game after a dominant entry victory over Justin Gaethje, Khabib Nurmagomedov is still considered one of the greatest hunters ever.
Also in the conversation as one of the greatest hunters ever is a former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson.
Unfortunately, 'Iron Mike' somewhat affected his legacy last year when he fought against Jake Paul in a very controversial fight, which lost by decision.

Nurmagomedov confronted Tyson hilarious for Ko he scored
But it was not before his fight against Jake Paul that 'The Eagle' Tyson hilariously confronted; It was a fight he had in 2003.
After having had a knockout loss for Lennox Lewis in what was a huge rivalry at the time, Tyson was then booked to compete against Clifford Etienne a little more than eight months later.
With the fight that takes place in the United States, Memphis, Tennessee, to be precise, it was live in the early hours of the morning in Russia.
This was years before Nurmagomedov started his career as a professional MMA hunter, but because he was a big fan of combat sports, he wanted to see the Tyson vs Etienne fight live and asked his father, Abdulmanap, to wake him up to view it.
“You made me a little upset,” Khabib began to explain to Tyson during an episode of his podcast, Hotboxin '.
“I remember, February 23, 2003, you should fight against Clifford Etienne, and it was like five in the morning.
“I said to my father:” Please, you can wake me up, I really want to look at this fight. “You beat it in the first round.
Mike Tyson supports the move from Dana White to boxing
Tyson has forever been one of the biggest names in boxing, but unfortunately his time came as a professional before UFC boss Dana White made his switch in sport.
White is generally considered the best promoter in combat sports, and his transfer to boxing is very expected.
And with that he was supported by Tyson, who has stated that he thinks the UFC boss will bring something good for the sport after he has spent the UFC brand for years.
