Khabib Nurmagomédov's one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time. With an aggressive and frontal style, he achieved glory in the light weight of the MMA company and then, due to the death of his father, decided to retire from it. Close friend of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, in the last hours he gave an interview in which he told details of both players. 

Nurmagomédov shared with the YouTube channel KraSava, the voice message that Ibrahimovic sent him before the fight against American Justin Gaethje, held last October. "Hard work always pays off, it all depends on you, your mentality [...] When you're number one, people always look for something bad about you to somehow hurt you. But we prove over and over again who we're and what we're made of", the Milan striker told his friend.

At his time, Khabib commented that he wants to dedicate himself to professional football and that he received an offer from the Emirati club Al Wasl F.C., a team that Diego Maradona trained at the time, and another from the Turkish Fenerbahce. While Ibrahimovic has invited him to play in Milan. "I want to try something interesting, because to be honest, MMA already bores me. I want real competition", he said.

Finally, the former UFC fighter commented that he maintains a good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo and confessed that the Portuguese's concerned that his son isn't better than him, since he has all the comforts and luxuries.
