Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time and thus has had a range of rivals in the Octagon, most notably his long-standing rivalry with Conor McGregor.
'The Eagle' never backs down when it comes to expressing his mind and at times it lands him in beefs which could have been easily avoided, one of them being his comments on the significance of the ring girls in the sport.
Khabib Nurmagomedov had a beef with the UFC ring girls. It all started when Khabib called the role of ring girls 'useless'.
'The Eagle' slammed the role of the ring girls in the sport and labelled them as insignificant. He said, “Look, I don’t want to offend anyone, ring girls are the most useless people in martial arts. What is their purpose? I have a question. You can show that it is the second round on the screen."
The UFC ring girl Brittany Palmer expressed her take on Khabib's conservative Muslim faith and said that she respects the cultural differences. (Video Credit: @theresidencypodYouTube)
