Khabib Nurmagomedov almost flew into Leonardo DiCaprio
Khabib Nurmagomedov ascended to legendary status after defeating Conor McGregor at UFC 229. But the Dagestani fighter upset actor Leonardo DiCaprio by almost jumping on him after the fight ended.
Many Hollywood celebrities graced the star-studded event, including Megan Fox and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son-in-law, Chris Pratt. But the Russian fighter only recognized the Oscar-winning actor and said “Honestly, I didn’t recognize them, apart from Leonardo DiCaprio,”
“He is a big fan of martial arts. He told me, ‘I was sitting five meters away, you nearly landed on me!”
Apparently, the star is a huge fan of MMA and came to attend one of the biggest matches in UFC history. Nurmagomedov also wondered how he was able to sit there among so many people. “It was interesting for me how he would sit there”
The Hollywood actor doesn’t enjoy taking pictures with everyone
The fighter had a conversation with one of the biggest Hollywood stars, who claimed he didn’t like taking pictures “He’s a regular guy, but it was surprising to me, when people came up to him for a photo, he said ‘I don’t take photos.’”

When the undisputed former lightweight champion was curious to know why DiCaprio replied to him, “he said it’s not possible to make everyone happy. He said he only takes photos with kids.” The nature of the star appealed to Nurmagomedov, who said, “That surprised me, but in general, he’s a regular guy.”
Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped from the Octagon to chase Conor McGregor’s teammate, Dillon Danis, who mouthed off at the Russian. Parallelly, The Eagle’s teammates jumped into the Octagon and punched the Irishman, who just went 4 rounds.
Leonardo DiCaprio got the front-row tickets to witness this chaos.
