5 reasons why Khabib Nurmagomedov would actually be a good fit in the WWE

#2 Khabib Nurmagomedov would be excellent with a manager

UFC 229 Khabib v McGregor: Press Conference

As Drew McIntyre suggested in his TMZ interview, if Khabib Nurmagomedov could not work the mic himself, there are people like Paul Heyman, MVP, and the likes who would do it for him.

In all honesty, given the kind of personality Khabib Nurmagomedov has, he would do much better looming in the background - all full of aura and mystery - while someone like Paul Heyman does the talking for him.

When it comes to working the ring, however, Khabib Nurmagomedov could possibly outclass the topmost superstars - if the storyline allows, that is.

#1 Khabib Nurmagomedov already has a perfect backstory

Anyone who has followed the career of Khabib Nurmagomedov knows the roots of the fighter to which he clings on to ever so tightly. The unique stories of Khabib Nurmagomedov's childhood that are now part of the MMA lore, such as him swimming against the current in a river or fighting a bear at the age of nine, give him more than a convincing backstory for WWE.

Moreover, Khabib Nurmagomedov has always been one to uphold the culture and tradition of his homeland. From wearing the Papakha hat to media scrums and octagon walk-outs to going ahead and buying a fighting promotion to improve the Dagestani MMA scene, Khabib Nurmagomedov has done it all for his native land.

Having already proven himself in MMA, the Dagestani champion turning eyes towards pro wrestling glory would be as good as WWE storylines come.
