Khabib Nurmagomedov has taken his first steps into the world of acting.
The former UFC champion was featured in an advertisement for Etihad Airways alongside Dutch former football player Clarence Seedorf. The pair are the latest set of athletes to feature in a video promoting the six direct flights to Qatar by the UAE’s national airline for the duration of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The entertaining ad shows the two retired athletes being upstaged by a falcon—the UAE’s national bird, which also happens to be allowed on Etihad flights.
“I’m flying @etihad to Doha with my friend Clarence, and another frequent flyer for the biggest football tournament of the year,” Nurmagomedov said in an Instagram post promoting the ad.
