The Legacy belt is exclusive & only one will be given with to the champion. When the champion defend his belt, the same belt will be used but the white stones on the belt will be replaced with a red stones. Khabib should have two red stones now. His first defence was in Oct 2018 winning against Conor McGregor, but that time Khabib was still awarded with old belt as the Legacy belt was only ready in Jan 2019.

The Power Rangers series celebrated it’s 26th anniversary in Aug 2019, but Khabib do it better by improving his unbeaten pro MMA record with 28-0.
