Khabib Nurmagomedov recently attended the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) Final in Munich, Germany, where he met popular YouTuber IShowSpeed.
Last night, Paris Saint-Germain FC triumphed over Inter Milan, securing their first-ever UCL trophy. Nurmagomedov attended to support the French soccer club and later joined the CBS Sports Golazo broadcast desk, where he joined hosts Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards.
During the discussions, 'The Eagle' made a humorous remark and issued a warning to IShowSpeed, who was also on the UCL broadcast as a guest. He said:
"I'm gonna be humble. I think [IShowSpeed] is better than me [in] running, but football IQ? I'm much better... Don't forget between us, is nobody right now. Now you in my world, understand? But you can talk, freedom [of] speech."

IShowSpeed previously expressed his willingness to face Jake Paul if given the opportunity, but the fight was never confirmed or took place.

During the aforementioned segment of the CBS Sports Golazo interview for the UCL broadcast, Khabib Nurmagomedov issued a lighthearted warning to the YouTuber, saying:
