Add another accolade to Alex Ovechkin's star-studded resume.
The Capitals captain was recently named the second-most successful Russian athlete by Forbes Russia, one spot behind undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who submitted Conor McGregor in October to capture the organization's 155-pound title.
Forbes Russia also ranked Ovechkin third in its 40 under 40 Russian stars rankings, again behind Nurmagomedov who took first overall, and television star Olga Buzova.
