In a recent episode of the Full Send podcast, Khabib responded to Jake Paul’s challenge
Khabib Nurmagomedov sat down with the Nelk boys for an episode of the Full Send podcast and touched upon his fighting career, his relationship with his father and his role as the promoter of Eagle FC.
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, who is famously known for his humility has always stayed true to his words and given his honest opinion whenever it mattered. Khabib also touched upon his latest role as the promoter of Eagles FC and discussed his plans for the future.
‘The Eagle’ also discussed the hassle of being famous and how his father’s values have kept him grounded and centred. The entire episode is available on Youtube.
Fans of combat sports were delighted to see the respect and admiration he showed to Khabib in a recent post in which he wrote “This man did it right. Got in and won and got out on top.”
Khabib had openly praised ‘The Gypsy King’ several times in the past and also picked him as the pound for pound best boxer currently. Being recognized by him must have meant a great deal to him, which he made clear by reposting his Instagram story and captioning ‘Real recognize real’ on a later post.
