UFC lightweight Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov is a very talented striker in his own right. As the No. 1 contender in his UFC division, the man can afford to have great pride in his work. Still, who wouldn’t get just a little crazy when around their idols? “The Eagle” recently posted to Instagram a photo of himself hanging with boxing legend Mike Tyson:
“Today one of my dreams come true, to meet @miketyson. He invited me to his home. Thank you for the motivation #Tyson. Special thanks for my brother @aliabdelaziz000 who made this.” Nurmagomedov said in the post.
“The Eagle” is set to fight in the co-main event of UFC 209 this Saturday. He will be facing Tony Ferguson for the interim lightweight title.
