In a recent episode of the Full Send podcast, Khabib Nurmagomedov claimed he had no clue who Drake was during the UFC 229 weigh-ins
While promoting his first ever Eagle FC event in US soil, Khabib Nurmagomedov sat down with the Nelk Boys and touched upon his fighting career and newly adopted promoter role in a rather candid interview.
When asked about his favourite music and whether he keeps up with the current music scene, he said that he’d rather spend his time away from distractions and focus on work. He also shared an interesting story from the UFC 229 weigh ins involving Drake.
‘The Eagle’ said:
“Like people say, ‘This guy very famous.’ I swear I didn’t know this guy.”
Drake has famously supported Conor on various occasions and openly expressed his admiration for the Irish superstar. Khabib who is known for his honesty, surely impressed everyone with his candid uprightness.
In a recent episode of the Full Send podcast, Khabib responded to Jake Paul’s challenge
Jake Paul claimed in his interview with The MMA Hour that he’s willing to challenge himself against Khabib and believed his striking is superior to his. When asked about the challenge, Khabib hilariously dismissed Jake’s chances by saying that it will take him just a couple of minutes to finish Jake.
Khabib said:
“Come on Jake Paul, I don’t think so. In MMA, (I’ll win in) like couple of minutes.”
Khabib also touched upon his latest role as the promoter of Eagles FC and discussed his plans for the future.
