Khabib Says Demetrious Johnson’s Gaming Habit Made Cousin Lose Fight

Khabib Nurmagomedov claims his cousin Abubakar Nurmagomedov lost a fight because of Demetrious Johnson.

“Mighty Mouse” is currently helping coach Khabib prepare Islam Makhachev and Umar Nurmagomedov prepare for their upcoming title fights. While Makhachev will defend his lightweight title against Arman Tsarukyan in the main event, Umar challenges Merab Dvalishvili for the bantamweight strap in the co-main event at UFC 311 on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Johnson recently uploaded footage from the Dagestani camp where he can be seen spending some quality time with the team in addition to the training sessions.
