In the Will Harris Productions television series, The Dagestan Chronicles, Khabib appeared as a basketball player. Because Nurmagomedov’s game was unlike any other basketball player, it went viral among MMA fans. Joe Rogan called attention to it and ridiculed the style of Khabib Nurmagomedov, the UFC lightweight champion at the time. The Eagle(Khabib) replied to Rogan on social media as soon as he learned about it.
In the television series while playing the sports points were deducted for Khabib’s “Travel” every time he was called. It turns out, though, that Khabib and company were actually engaged in a fierce game of “Dagestani Basketball,” which is essentially a mash-up of basketball and rugby. Khabib bullishly also says, “Who’s Gonna Stop Me” while playing the sport.

Fans made fun of him on various social media sites and posts. He was seen committing a ‘Travel” and breaking one of the major NBA rules in the video while playing the sport. He did not take the trolls too well and improved his game and came back at Joe Rogan as well as his other critics and fans.
“@joerogan did you say bad about my basketball on your podcast? @willharrisproductions explain to him @nba I’m coming,” Nurmagomedov posted on Instagram with a clip of him playing basketball. He has a competitive nature and does not take anything said to him lightly and this reply was a clear example of his competitive nature.
Joe Rogan comments on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s basketball skills
Rogan’s conversion occurred with Will Harris, who uploaded the Khabib Nurmagomedov basketball video to his YouTube channel. Rogan was informed by the guest on the JRE MMA Show that Nurmagomedov was playing a sport known as “Rugby-Basketball” or “Dagestan-style basketball”.
“What the f*** am I looking at? You just hold on to it?” After seeing a video of The Eagle playing Dagestan-style basketball, Rogan asked the question to Harris. Harris even informed him that they even choked one another out while playing the game.
After hearing this statement from Harris, Rogan said, “This is the most ridiculous basketball that I’ve ever seen.” Rogan watched the video repeatedly. He continued to assert that it was not basketball, laughing the entire time he watched the video.

As of yet, Khabib has never featured on the podcast but it remains to be seen whether he will appear shortly.
