Last season, the Denver Nuggets bullied the entire league to reach the NBA Finals. Former back-to-back MVP Nikola Jokic, along with his wingman, took the regular season by storm. Meanwhile, also sifting through the playoffs just as easily. Ultimately, capturing their first NBA title, the Joker and his team silenced naysayers who doubted their dominance. However, a key factor in their success was their line-up.

Throughout the run, they supported Jokic. While one of them, his wingman may have more of a contributing hand than others. Recently, he was spotted training with the UFC Champion and the fans are eating it up. Will MMA be the next core area of Jokic’s partners’ dominance?

NBA Champion Trains Under UFC Champion

Jamal Murray has been on a high roll since June. After aiding Jokic win his first championship and finals MVP, the Nuggets star is training hard for MMA. In a recent photograph on Twitter, we see him posing with the UFC featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski. However, this isn’t the first time they are posing together. This offseason Murray is training hard with the UFC fighter. A few days ago, the 6 foot 4 point guard also appeared in an Instagram post shared by Volkanovski.

In the photograph, we see Murray immersed in his training session while the UFC champion shows him the ropes. “Get it in champ”, Volk captioned the post. Acknowledging the new champion status of the 26-year-old. The athletes seemed to be friends since Murray started supporting Volk in fights. Furthermore, their bond was strengthened when the NBA champion visited Australia the year prior. Even fans seem to be delighted by the two worlds of MMA and NBA interacting with one another seamlessly.
