Follow Us
Khabib Nurmagomedov has dominated the world of mixed martial arts even after his retirement as a UFC contender. The Dagestani warrior became a coach after concluding his fighting career and made sure that his disciple, Islam Makhachev, inherited the lightweight champion’s title. Furthermore, his cousin, Umar Nurmagomedov had been dominating in the arena of Bellator MMA before entering the UFC as a bantamweight warrior. However, the fact remains intact that the Dagestani fighters are commendable wrestlers. This has been proven by the team, time and time again. Previously in 2021, the UFC commentator and former fighter, Daniel Cormier, found himself in the clutches of Nurmagomedov’s team at AKA. Without a doubt, DC could not do anything except yell and ultimately tap out.
DC has sparred with Nurmagomedov a couple of times at the AKA. There was a time when the former heavyweight champion engaged Khabib Nurmagomedov with sets of WWE moves. Not only did it impress the onlookers, but also the ones who saw the video online.

Although it was friendly sparring, DC went ahead with the three warriors at once. ‘The Eagle’ and his cousin took hold of each of Cormier’s arms and held them in place with armbars. DC’s left leg was controlled by Ulanbekov with a heel hook. With nowhere else to go, DC kept shouting, “What is this sh*t?”
