Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and footballing star Cristiano Ronaldo faced off when Khabib was in England.

Khabib was in Old Trafford to watch Manchester United play Everton in the Premier League. He also got a Manchester United jersey with his name and his friend Cristiano’s famous number 7 at the back.

After watching Manchester United’s match and visiting Anfield to watch Liverpool vs. Manchester City, Nurmagomedov met his good friend, Cristiano Ronaldo. Khabib and Ronaldo, in a traditional combat sport manner, faced off against each other.

Khabib, after the two met, in an Instagram post said, “He is a best ever, keep doing your things Champ, you inspire millions of people around the World.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov and Cristiano Ronaldo

Nurmagomedov and Ronaldo, according to many, are the greatest in their respective sports. Both men have very impressive resumes to back that claim. Nurmagomedov finished his career undefeated, with a professional record of 29-0. He went up against some of the toughest fighters in the world and dominated most of them. Known for his grappling and wrestling, Khabib beat Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, and many others.
