Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn’t have to worry about cutting weight anymore. Thus, he has been looking bigger than usual. Subsequently, UFC commentator Joe Rogan and lightweight fighter Bobby Green had a little chat about Nurmagomedov’s appearance on the JRE podcast.

In the latest podcast episode, JRE MMA Show #121 With Bobby Green, Rogan asked Green about his last fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s protégé, Islam Makhachev.

After suggesting his issues making weight for the fight, Green said, “When I see Khabib, I was like the holy f***. What happened to you?”

Rogan offered, “He’s not fat, he’s just big. He’s not lean anymore, He’s 200 pounds.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov is living his best life after a dominating run in the UFC. Besides, he has been playing an important role in the success of his team. Coach Nurmagomedov is helping his teammate, Islam Makhachev, to become the next lightweight championship.

‘The Eagle’ retired early from the sport. Consequently, he had to relinquish the UFC lightweight title. Now, the Dagestan-born wants to bring the belt to his home country as his teammate Islam Makhachev makes a run for that UFC gold.
