“They Beat the S**T out of Me”: Comedian Recalls Meeting Khabib Nurmagomedov for the First Time

Jamie Kilstein recently opened up about his interaction with the UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The popular radio host and stand up comic recalls the first time his path crossed with that of Khabib. He talks about how their meeting went down on a popular podcast called “The Luke Thomas Show”. The interaction took place at the gym that Khabib calls his own. He delves into the details about his experience of training at the same gym as the world-renowned fighter.

The stand up comic disclosed several anecdotes about the experience they shared. With most of them being quite hilarious. Which is not surprising considering the line of his work. He is very frank about some very embarrassing and yet funny instances. Feeding water directly into the mouth of someone you know is weird enough and doing that for someone you don’t know, more so. Which is how Kilstein remembers their first encounter went down. Weirdly unnerving. He started to offer Khabib Nurmagomedov his bottle in his hands to which the fighter shook his head and the comic proceeded to feed him water.

“And that’s when I was like, he could sexually assault me at any point and there is nothing I could do.”- Jamie Kilstien jokingly recalls his first encounter with Khabib.

Jamie Kilstein describes the shower incident with Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team

As the podcast progresses the conversation gets better and better(not so much for Kilstein). Kilstein very candidly speaks about his ordeal in the gym showers, that some may refer to as excruciatingly humiliating. He tells us how he was never a very gifted athlete and therefore did not possess shower etiquettes. Jamie Kilstein then elaborates on how Khabib and his team walked in on him showering in the nude. Kilstein made the mistake of taking a shower without his bathing suit or a pair of shorts on and paid dearly for it.

As many fighters are saved by the bell, Kelstein was saved by another fighter from AKA, Luke Rockhold. The American Southpaw backed Kilstein up by “strutting in towel over the shoulder, d**k swinging,” as he so bluntly describes it.
