UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov is once again making headlines — not for a fight in the Octagon, but for a cultural moment on live television.
According to Fox News, Khabib refused to shake hands with a female sportscaster during a recent live broadcast, creating an awkward on-air moment. The incident quickly went viral, with social media divided over whether this was an act of disrespect or a matter of faith. Read the full story here.
Chat Sports also reported that Khabib responded by saying “a lot of legends here,” potentially trying to redirect the moment. That hasn't stopped online debate. See more details here.
Adding to the media frenzy, Khabib also reportedly “vowed to beat up” popular streamer IShowSpeed, stirring rumors of a bizarre crossover feud. Check out the article from MMAWeekly here.
Culture or Controversy?
Khabib, a devout Muslim, has always stood by his religious beliefs — including refraining from physical contact with women outside his family. While his supporters defend this as a sign of integrity and conviction, critics argue that public figures should adapt to international social norms, especially on live television.
- Should celebrities respect global etiquette when in the public eye?
- Or is it more important to stay true to personal and religious values?
- Was Khabib’s refusal rude or principled?
