Cormier: "Khabib has become a world-class coach"

Former UFC champion in two weight classes Daniel Cormier spoke out about meeting his fellow former lightweight division titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"I hadn't seen my little brother in 18 months. I was so happy to see him. I saw this man grow from a kid who didn't speak English to a world champion and now a world-class coach and father. Your dad would be proud of you, kid. Good to see you champ, missed you," Cormier wrote in X.

Recall that Nurmagomedov secured Islam Makhachev in a fight with Dustin Porier at UFC 302 in Newark, USA. The fight ended with the victory of the Dagestani by choke hold in the fifth round.
