Video: Khabib becomes 'Super Mário' and his career in MMA is told in a game

Anyone who is passionate about games has certainly heard of the game 'Super Mário World', released in 1990 in Japan. Interestingly, MMA fans decided to replace the main character with Khabib Nurmagomedov and show the trajectory of the lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg) towards stardom within the UFC. The result was announced in a video published last Monday (23), on the 'RT Sport' channel.

Bears, wig, bottles of whiskey and, of course, Conor McGregor. These are some of the 'ingredients' used to tell Khabib's story in mixed martial arts from his beginnings until he reached the title.

Interaction with the world of games is similar to what happens in 'Super Mário'. The turtles are replaced by bears and the champion's famous 'wig' works like a mushroom, which makes the character increase in size.

Passing through tunnels and reaching other environments, at one point, Khabib comes across Conor McGregor, his biggest rival in MMA to date. To win the belt, the Russian must defeat the Irishman, who represents the 'big boss'.

After winning, the character who represents the 'Eagle' finally manages to win the title.

Undefeated since he debuted as a professional in MMA, 28 fights ago, Khabib is, today, one of the main names in Ultimate. The athlete comes from two great achievements in his career. One, on Conor himself, in a fight held in October 2018, and another against Dustin poirier, valid for the unification of the lightweight belt.

After a perfect record in the sport, Nurmagomedov is now preparing for the clash that has everything to be the most competitive of his career. On April 18, the Russian will face Tony Ferguson, which is also in a great phase within the organization.
