“Khabib talks more shit about other fighters than anyone else. I'm disappointed to see this. To me, he was a conservative guy. That's not part of his DNA. We can see him demoting fighters and then (Islam) Makhachev does the same. It didn't used to be part of their culture in sports. They have a unique place in the sport. Now they are like everyone else. I heard that maybe their manager (Ali Abdelaziz) controls Twitter. Still, it would be nonsense,” said Bareman, in an interview with 'Submission Radio'.
Since retiring, Khabib has dedicated himself to following in the footsteps of his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who died in July 2020, a victim of Covid-19. The former UFC champion has been gaining success. The athlete, however, has collected critics.
In a given situation, the Russian even underestimated José Aldo, who is experiencing a new moment within the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg) of the UFC. At the time, Nurmagomedov guaranteed that the man from Manaus would not be able to win a second belt with the company, as, according to 'Águia', it is not possible for a fighter to reach two peaks in their careers.
