Donald Trump recently spoke highly about former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. It was during a live stream Trump did with popular Kick streamer Adin Ross. Trump talked about meeting Nurmagomedov at UFC 302. However, few details caught the attention of fans.
At UFC 302, Khabib Nurmagomedov successfully guided Islam Makhachev to defend his title against Dustin Poirier. Following the fight, he met Trump on the octagon side and discussed ending the Israel-Palestine conflict. Both shook hands, which drew the attention of many. However, Trump recently stated that Nurmagomedov was talking about ending the Ukraine-Russian war.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has been publicly showing his support for people in Palestine for a long time now. The retired star had shared his views on his Instagram account, talking about the children and refugees who were killed due to bombing.
Islam Makhachev also dedicated his lightweight title victory to the same cause. The ‘Eagle’ has never shared any opinion regarding the Russia-Ukraine war that has been going on for years now. There is no particular reason why Trump said that. Nevertheless, it surely attracted the attention of many.
