Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov will finally face each other on October 6th, 2018 at T-Mobile Arena in the Las Vegas. This fight will go down in history as the biggest grudge match in combat sports and will most likely be the biggest MMA event of all time. Team Conor is literally in a war with team Khabib after the UFC 223 Melee in which 'Team Conor' 'trespassed into Barclays centre to retaliate for Khabib slapping Artem Labov.

The heart of the matter

Khabib Nurmagomedov's superfan 'Mini Khabib' expressed her gratitude towards Reebok via her social media handle for presenting her with the UFC themed personalized walkout gear. 'Mini Khabib' has become a popular MMA personality and is usually spotted at all UFC events wearing a papakha hat (Khabib hat).

She usually gets a place next to her idol Khabib during UFC open workouts and related events. She even got a chance to go into the Octagon after Khabib beat Edson Barbosa. Reebok designing her personalized UFC gear could be a hint that she has some major role on D-day when Khabib fights McGregor.
