Khabib Nurmagomedov’s former UFC Manager Ali Abdelaziz shared a hilarious video on his Instagram account. The video is of a post-match interview between Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier. As we all know, it was Khabib who won the fight in Abu Dhabi by submission. Therefore, Khabib was sharing his plans after the win with Megan Olivi.

Olivi, who is an American MMA news reporter, asks the Russian-Dagestani fighter his ‘initial thoughts’ after the win. Surprisingly, Nurmagomedov cheerfully responded, “Next is Coca-cola with ice and some steaks with burgers. You know it’s like I’m very hungry.”
Abdelaziz shared the clip, which has edited the section which is awkwardly funny. Where Olivi tells Khabib that she is hungry too; “So am I”. To this Khabib replies a “thank you”. Olivi adds, “Are you hot? “, and Khabib’s frantic reaction which follows is amusing. Perhaps without context, this segment of conversation might feel flirtatious.

But in fact, Olivi is sincerely asking about humidity and heat in Abu Dhabi. To this former lightweight champion replied, “It’s too hot here but doesn’t matter… like whatever they say, I say it’s gonna be not only for me. It’s gonna be for my opponent too. If you can fight, I can fight all night too, you know.”
