“That’s Messed Up” – WATCH Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Russian Prank on “B*tch” Daniel Cormier

Khabib Nurmagomedov and Daniel Cormier certainly share a very special bond. They are world-class wrestlers- some of the best the MMA world has seen. Both the UFC Hall of Famers are very close friends and we have seen them train together on many occasions.

One time, Nurmagomedov and his Russian team pulled a hilarious prank on Daniel Cormier during their training. The Russians apparently told ‘DC’ a sentence in Russian, which translated to him calling himself a ‘b*tch’ in their native language.

Cormier was absolutely furious with this prank that Nurmagomedov played on him and confronted him on camera. ‘The Eagle’ laughed and denied Cormier’s accusation. While ‘DC‘ charged at him, he said, “I don’t say nothing. I never say that.”

Daniel Cormier told the camera while laughing, “now I know what this means. They kept telling me to say Ya E Bin*. Had me calling myself a b**ch. That’s messed up. For weeks!”

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s last words in the octagon for Daniel Cormier

Nurmagomedov had one of the greatest careers in MMA. With a decorated record of 29 wins with no losses, the Dagestani fighter retired from the UFC after his win against Justin Gaethje.

He retired on the account of the passing away of his father and mentor, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, and pledged to never fight again. Despite numerous efforts from Dana White and fellow fighters, Nurmagomedov has still kept his word on his retirement.

After delivering a truly heartbreaking speech inside the Flash Forum in Abu Dhabi, Khabib’s closing words were directed to his close friend Daniel Cormier. He said, “DC, I love you brother.”
