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.

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!”
