Is Khamzat related to Khabib?
Khamzat Chimaev and Khabib Nurmagomedov, two fighters who share Russian origins, religion, the same UFC manager, and undefeated records, were mistakenly believed to be related due to their similarities. However, they are not related and had a falling out. The tension began when Chimaev claimed in an Instagram live session that he could defeat Nurmagomedov, leading to a series of arguments and mockery between them. Many fans anticipated a fight between the two, but Chimaev later apologized to Khabib, acknowledging his mistake. He clarified that he responded to a comment made about him and realized it was wrong to engage in such a feud.
Long after Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from the sport, Chimaev, and Nurmagomedov met up and squashed their feud as both of their teams were seen taking pictures together.
