Jake Shields, a former UFC fighter, spoke about the modesty of the organization's former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedova. According to Shields, Khabib washed the mats in the gym literally before he won the championship belt.

“When I trained with Khabib in San Jose, he was often the guy who washed the mats in the gym. Usually beginners do this kind of work. This was right before he won the championship. But I'm absolutely sure that Khabib continued to do this as UFC champion. By doing so, he set a great example for his team that he did not feel superior to them.”

Let us remind you that Khabib ended his fighting career in October 2020. His professional record is 29-0.
