Former UFC Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov Sends Fans Into a Frenzy With ‘Lift Heavy Get Thicc’ Demand

Khabib ‘The Eagle’ Nurmagomedov is one of the most talented individuals to compete in all of combat sports history. The former UFC lightweight champion has never been defeated and has an impressive career record of 29 wins and 0 losses. Recently, he shared a picture of a shirt with a message on it that he found relatable.

Khabib Nurmagomedov now enjoys retirement while expanding his businesses and helping his team train. Being out of competition means that the Russian doesn’t have to follow a certain diet and starve himself anymore. Nurmagomedov shared a picture via Twitter, which had a funny message relating to food.

In the picture, we see a fighter wearing a shirt that reads – “Eat Burgers Lift Heavy Get Thiccc.” Nurmagomedov captioned the picture – “I need this T-shirt.”

The fans reacted hilariously to this message spotted on the fighter’s t-shirt.

The Weight Cutting Problem of Khabib Nurmagomedov

Although no opponent has ever been much of a problem for Khabib Nurmagomedov, the same can’t be said for him cutting weight. Weight cutting was one of the biggest problems in Nurmagomedov’s career that kept popping up repeatedly.

Nurmagomedov failed to make weight in only his fourth fight in the promotion when he took on the likes of Abel Trujillo at UFC 160. The Russian was overweight by 2.5 pounds and surrendered 20% of his fight purse. He also had an option to make weight after two hours, but he didn’t choose to do so, instead gave away a part of his purse.

Nurmagomedov failed again at UFC 209, where he was supposed to take on fellow contender Tony Ferguson. He collapsed in his hotel lobby a day prior to his fight. This led to the Russian being hospitalized moments later and the bout being canceled.

It is also no surprise that ‘The Eagle’ struggled to make weight for his last fight at UFC 254 against Justin Gaethje. Nurmagomedov used a towel to make weight, and there was a clear sign of relief on his face once he made weight.

Even though Nurmagomedov has had these issues throughout his career, he has never let it affect his performances inside the octagon. Nurmagomedov dominates his opponents on the ground and shifts his weight to control his opponents.
