The MMA world could never forget the bitter feud between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The beef brought out the terrifying sides of both Nurmagomedov and McGregor. However, the latest revelations from ‘The Eagle’s teammate prove that he is not as serious a figure as many think. Fight fans consider Khabib Nurmagomedov as one of the greatest fighters in the world. He retired from the sport with an undefeated record of 29 victories and zero losses and for many, he was the nightmare of his opponents.

The MMA community often considers Nurmagomedov a figure who leads a highly disciplined life. Even UFC commentator Joe Rogan has praised Nurmagomedov for being a highly disciplined fighter who goes through brutal training sessions. However, the recent words of Belal Muhammad show that Nurmagomedov has a playful side that is not known to the MMA community. Let’s take a closer look at the nature of Nurmagomedov, which is not familiar to many.

A surprising revelation about Khabib Nurmagomedov

Belal Muhammad was talking on The Mid Show. During the conversation, he was asked about his experience training with Khabib Nurmagomedov. ‘Remember The Name’ responded, “Honestly, he’s [Khabib Nurmagomedov] like the funniest guy…You’re like chilling and a lot of those guys in that group don’t even speak English, so when I’m in that group, he’s the only one talking to me. So it’s just funny to see how he is because… people expect it to be a certain way…and he’s like the funniest guy.“
