One thing that Khabib Nurmagomedov is most known for is his passion for football. While he has made his name in the MMA realm, his first dream was to be a footballer, showing how much he loves the game. Speaking of football, his love for Real Madrid is known worldwide. However, recently, for his love, he got mocked by former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier, who mocked ‘The Eagle‘ for a controversial offside goal against Bayern Munich. Let’s dive in to find details about it.
Daniel Cormier Mocks Khabib Nurmagomedov Over Real Madrid Affection with Signature Wit
Recently, Daniel Cormier showed frustration with X as he wasn’t pleased with some ref calls during Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich. Madrid won 2-1, but it was a controversial win. In light of this fact, a linesman called one of Bayern Munich’s goals offside. This led to the game ending before VAR could check it, giving ‘Los Blancos’ the win.
And for this, DC showed his frustration, labeling it as ‘No.1 Bullshit’ in signature Khabib Nurmagomedov’s style. He also mocked the Dagestani and accused Real Madrid of cheating and ref bias towards RM. In his words,
“That was a bullsht offsides call! They wanted Real Madrid to win. That was nonsense @TeamKhabib no.1 bullsht.”
Given Nurmagomedov’s strong affinity for Real Madrid, which he’s shown often, Nurmagomedov comes under the fire of Daniel Cormier’s criticism of the referee’s decisions. And that too in Khabib’s style, who mockingly uses one of his signature witty lines to express his frustration over the other humorously what he finds ridiculous. While, till now, the Dagestani haven’t replied to him, it will not be surprising to see a reply from Nurmagomedov to defend his favorite team.
