The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon, often called a “cage,” is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. It takes special courage to enter this arena, and something even more special to come out the victor. Khabib Nurmagomedov has emerged triumphant from the Octagon 29 times, and he has never lost.
Jacob & Co. X Khabib Nurmagomedov founder and chairman Jacob Arabo is a lover of the fight game and has attended many MMA fights over the years.
“I am a huge fan of Khabib,” says Mr. Arabo. “I have been following his career for a long time and when his team approached us about working together to create some limited-edition watches, I was very excited. For me, Khabib is the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet and he fits the brand to a ‘T.’ In more ways than one, it’s Khabib’s time.”
For Khabib, the partnership makes complete sense. “I’m unlike any other fighter today and Jacob & Co. X Khabib Nurmagomedov is the same way, different from every other brand,” he says. “We fit perfectly together.”

The bright polished titanium case works well with the green decoration, green mineral crystal dial, white rubber pushers, green rubber crowns, inner rotating bezel, and the legend “29-0” at 6 o’clock.
