When it comes to the most dominant fighters in the octagon over the past many years, Khabib Nurmagomedov is second to none. Khabib retired after submitting Justin Gaethje in the second round four years back. Since retiring, the former Lightweight champion can often be seen donning the hat of a coach. His protege Islam is set to take on Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 302, but the man ensures that the mood in the fight camp remains light.
Khabib was recently spotted throwing his former manager and friend Ali Abdelaziz in the swimming pool.
Khabib Nurmagomedov Drowns his Former Manager
Ali Abdelaziz is one of the biggest fight managers in the UFC. His clients include stars like Khabib, Islam, and Justin Gaethje. Abdelaziz decided to visit his Dagestani clients, but it turned out to be a decision as he was thrown into the pool by the former pound-for-pound champion. Khabib posted the video on his social media handle and captioned the clip,
That’s how it was 🙂
Sorry brother @aliabdelaziz
The Eagle apologized to his manager for throwing him in the pool. Seeing Islam’s camp in a light mood before his bout against Dustin Poirier in UFC 302 was heartening.
