Khabib Nurmagomedov, the lightweight GOAT, called out the UFC commentator Joe Rogan in a hilarious way after he mispronounced Umar Nurmagomedov’s name at UFC 272.

Although ‘The Eagle’ has retired from professional fighting, he hasn’t left the sport completely. He now runs his own MMA promotion. And also trains athletes, generally his friends and teammates, for their respective MMA careers.

Some of the most notable names training under ‘The Eagle’ include Islam Makhachev and Tagir Ulanbekov. Interestingly, one more feather has been added to Khabib’s coach cap after his undefeated cousin Umar Nurmagomedov made his UFC debut last year. Umar is currently 2-0 in the UFC.

In his last outing at UFC 272, Umar defeated the UFC veteran Brian Kelleher in the first round via submission. Following Umar’s octagon interview, Joe Rogan mispronounced his name by mistake. However, the former lightweight champion decided to have fun with him.

Pointing to Rogan‘s mistake, Khabib posted a video on his official Instagram account and tagged the UFC commentator in the caption. He wrote, “@joerogan, you should have remembered this name. @umar_nurmagomedov is a problem.”

And also stated that UFC welterweight combatants should reject fighting Covington. However, Nurmagomedov received a mixed reaction for his statements from the MMA community.
