Khabib Sends Bold Message To The Rock

The former longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has been a top name of the company. His fellow athletes and mega-stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson are two of the biggest names globally who have achieved a lot in their fields. The Dagestani questions how they deal with fame which has been a tough task for him. The 33-year-old further admitted that managing fame as a global icon had not come as easily to him as it did them.

 


 

Khabib Nurmagomedov opens up on dealing with fame

In a recent appearance on the Full Send podcast, the former UFC lightweight champion revealed his mindset as he spoke about dealing with such popularity.

According to Nurmagomedov:

“I don’t think someone can handle this. I don’t understand, for example, like, [Cristiano Ronaldo] like [The Rock] like so many guys, like, they more popular than me I don’t understand. They more popular than me but how they living, I don’t understand this. Like, for me, it’s like very hard. Like I remember before I become popular, like I’m a street guy, you know. I like to walk around. For me, when I was young, it was like very bad to go home. I want to stay out, you know, with friends. But right now, I all the time stay home.”

Khabib never fail to speak his mind and he recently snubbed the YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul as a threat. He admitted that it was too late for Paul to have a fight against him, citing his inactive status as a roadblock. The Dagestani argued that the YouTuber-turned-boxer would last no longer than a couple of minutes inside the cage. We will have to see if that encounter ever takes place.
