UFC 280: Thrill and Agony revealed many incredible moments from UFC's monumental PPV in Etihad Arena, Abu Dhabi.

It featured Islam Makhachev celebrating with Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team after winning the lightweight title.

And that's when Daniel Cormier confronted Khabib Nurmagomedov in a hilarious way and humbled him.

Fans have seen enough clips of AKA teammates, Daniel Cormier and Khabib Nurmagomedov messing with each other.

And a similar incident took place at UFC 280 backstage, where DC called out Khabib for taking the credit for Makhachev's win.

"Can I say one thing. you think you do something because Islam is champ. Hey, any guy can make this guy champ. This guy is the best."- DC
