If merely getting ragdolled by Khabib Nurmagomedov wasn’t bad enough, Belal Muhammad has claimed he witnessed the Russian order coffee while dismantling him.

Khabib Nurmagomedov supposedly ordered coffee while grappling Belal Muhammad

In his career, Belal Muhammad has proven his class beyond doubt, recently dominating Leon Edwards to claim the UFC welterweight championship.

Blessed with a phenomenal engine and terrific wrestling skills, ‘Remember the Name’ is becoming a nightmare to beat inside the cage.

However, while possessing many formidable qualities, the American confesses that he still struggles to deal with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the gym.

While retired from the sport, the Dagestani is a lethal operator, still capable of giving the stars of today all they can handle.

In fact, according to the UFC 170-pound champion, Nurmagomedov dominates their sessions to such an extent, that he was once able to order a coffee while they were grappling.

In an interview uploaded by Demetrious Johnson to his YouTube channel, Muhammad confessed: “Whenever you go with him, it’s kind of like embarrassing. It’s not even like humbling, because he just kills you to the point, where he’s on top of me, and he’s about to get me in a Kimura, and he’s like ordering coffee to his boy outside the cage.

“I’m looking at myself like, ‘Bro, I’m going to be fighting for a title soon, and this guy is ordering drinks’. But it keeps me in the mindset of I still have a lot to learn, I still have a lot to work on.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov suffers black eye

While clearly still capable of big things in the sport of MMA, Nurmagomedov has joked that he’s not the fighter he once was.

In a recent trip to American Kickboxing Academy, he put on the gloves and engaged in a brutal sparring session.

By the looks of things, somebody caught the legend with a cracking shot, leaving him with some facial damage.

The UFC Hall of Famer later addressed the bruise via social media.
