Dmitry Bivol and Khabib Nurmagomedov

Fans have always debated what would happen if an MMA fighter faced off against a boxer in a street fight, and now Dmitry Bivol, the boxing champion, has weighed in. After years of speculation, he shared his thoughts, saying that MMA is closer to street fighting due to its versatility. Bivol even went as far as to suggest that he could potentially beat Khabib Nurmagomedov in a street fight, which has sparked a fresh wave of discussions among fans.

It’s always intriguing when athletes from different disciplines weigh in on this age-old debate.

He didn’t shy away from this opinion, acknowledging that MMA fighters have an advantage in street combat due to their diverse skill set. He said, “To be honest, MMA is closer to a street fight, no point of hiding it.”

There’s no denying that Bivol’s humility shines through, especially considering his victories over champions like Canelo Alvarez and Artur Beterbiev. Both of these fighters are known for their brutal power, hitting like trucks. Bivol’s ability to outbox them only adds to his credibility, and his comments about a potential street fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov reflect his confidence, even if he’s downplaying his own abilities in the process.

Dmitry Bivol Interested To Move Up

Meanwhile, Bivol is taking a much-needed break after a win over Beterbiev, but once he’s fully healed, all options are on the table.

Bivol isn’t overly vocal about his plans but recently hinted at the idea of moving up to cruiserweight, expressing interest in exploring the division while leaving the decision to what fans want to see.

He remains open to any challenge. Indeed, it’ll be interesting to see what Bivol does next now that he’s basking in the glory of his championship win over Beterbiev. With such a major achievement under his belt, he’s in a strong position to choose his next move. The future is full of exciting possibilities for him.
