"Stop! Stop! Stop! My Shoulder!"
It's common knowledge that former two-division world champion Daniel Cormier is one of Khabib Nurmagomedov's closest friends. Both fighters have trained together at the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, California, for a number of years - and the pair are often seen having a laugh as they prepare for upcoming title bouts. Earlier this year, for example, DC got himself into a spot of trouble when he sarcastically asked his friend if he beat Conor McGregor at UFC 229.
Nurmagomedov promptly responded by saying "I never lose" before jumping on the former heavyweight champion, locking in a chokehold. Cormier, who was then wrestled to the ground, soon played off Khabib's tight armbar submission, saying: "This is the closest he ever going to submit me!" But seconds later, reality hit when the American pleaded for Khabib to release, tapping on the Russian fighter's leg.
