Jacob and Co have created special watches for Khabib Nurmagomedov and the Eagle showed off another time piece
Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most marketable stars in the MMA world and it makes sense for brands to tie up with him.
The Russian is 29-0 in his professional MMA career and is considered as one of the best ever to have fought in the Octagon.
Jacob and Co, one of the premium watch makers in the world, have tied with up Khabib in the past to launch the Epic X Tourbillon Khabib.
This was limited to just 29 pieces, related to Khabib’s 29-0 MMA record. Further, titanium and a lot of sapphires were used to ensure the watch was a premium product.
Khabib worked alongside the watch makers to release three other limited pieces, and each of those were only 100 in number.
Jacob Arabo, the founder of the company and an avid MMA fan, also shared his thoughts on the tie up and Khabib when releasing the earlier set:
“I am a huge fan of Khabib.
“I have been following his career for a long time and when his team approached us about working together to create some limited-edition watches, I was very excited. For me, Khabib is the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet and he fits the brand to a ‘T.’ In more ways than one, it’s Khabib’s time.”
The Russian is one of the most down to earth stars in the world and barely shows off his wealth. He has been involved in some of the biggest PPVs in UFC history but he never boasts about any of that.
However, he seems to be showing off another incredible watch from Jacob and Co and posted an image on his Instagram stories.
This seems to be a new watch in the making and it will be interesting to see how things work out with this one.
Khabib isn’t keen on returning to the Octagon and seems set to vacate his UFC Lightweight title. He has wanted to fight UFC legend Georges St-Pierre in his 30th clash but that seems to be out of the question also.
The Russian will still remain one of the greatest to have graced the Octagon, and he certainly has a taste for great watches.
