I can bring Cristiano, Ibrahimovic and Benzema: Khabib reveals his team

05 November 2022

The love that former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has for football is no secret. The Russian has been seen hanging out with a long list of footballers over the past and now, Khabib went on to have the ultimate flex recently.

Khabib was recently pitched the idea of a football match by BT Sports’ Adam Catterall. Catterall noted that he can bring in the BT Sports team which consisted of names like Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, Dutch legend Clarence Seedorf and UFC Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.

“Let’s settle it, let’s have a match. Your team, my team. Islam plays for my team though. I’ll bring my BT Sport team. I’ll bring Rio Ferdinand, you can bring Seedorf, I’ll bring Ferdinand,” Catterall said.

However, the comment was not enough to baffle Khabib as he listed down some huge names that could be on his name. The Russian went on to name Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his team and made sure that Catterall had nothing more to say.

“Brother I never hear about your team. Okay you bring who? Ferdinand? I’m going to bring Cristiano, Ibrahimovic, I can bring Benzema, Ibrahimovic, Cristiano and Casillas!” Khabib said.

Khabib has been pictured multiple times with footballers including Cristiano Ronaldo. The Former UFC Champion was also seen at Old Trafford sometime back where he spent time with Sir Alex Ferguson, Patrice Evra and Olympic medallist Usain Bolt.
