Khabib Paying Bills For Top UFC Star

Khabib Nurmagomedov may be split in terms of love and hate, but you can’t say that the man hasn’t given back when needed. Islam Makhachev is one of these people who has been on the good side of Khabib. Rafael dos Anjos poked some fun at this as he alluded to Khabib fronting a big bill for Islam.

Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov grew up together in Dagestan and are extremely close. Both were trained by one of the greatest Russian combat sports coaches, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

Following his recent fight against Thiago Moises, Makahchev said the cost of his fight camp was covered by ‘The Eagle’.

Rafael dos Anjos jumped at this as he stated: “Do you really think I would fake a surgery? Coming out of another terrible injury. Unlike you, I have a family that depends on me and I don’t have another man paying my bills.”

To which Islam Makhachev stated back to Rafael: “I don’t believe that you’re injured.., again #chickenfever”

We will have to watch this as it really is starting to boil over between these two as they have been taking small shots at each other for a bit now. Even though Islam Makhachev may have gotten some help to achieve what he wished to from Khabib Nurmagomedov, does it warrant the backlash that Islam has seen? That’s hard to say in this sport as everyone only seems to want to hear the rags to riches stories rather than the truth of it all.

The Eagle has yet (currently) to speak on this. While doubtful, we will also watch for The Eagle’s response.

Special thanks to Sportskeeda.
