"Cormier immediately called out both of them for not following any rules. Cormier noted that their famous games of Dagestani basketball is a mixture of rugby and basketball with almost no rules. Cormier would preferably not include them on any team as they would try to modify the rules according to their convenience. However, if bound to choose, Cormier would pick Nurmagomedov, whom he sees as the bigger and rougher one."
""Islam and Khabib, they don't follow rules," Cormier told the NFL. "Have you ever seen them play basketball? Their basketball is a mix of football and basketball, they don't dribble. I'm not putting them on any of our teams because they would try to make their own rules. But if I had to pick one, I would say Khabib, he's shorter, he's a little more burly, he's more of a grinder.""
Daniel Cormier says he would preferably not include either Khabib Nurmagomedov or Islam Makhachev on any football team because they do not follow rules. Cormier is close to both fighters and often teases them, and they return the favor. Cormier describes their Dagestani basketball as a mixture of rugby and basketball with almost no rules and says they often try to change rules to suit themselves. Cormier says he would avoid putting them on teams for that reason. If forced to pick between them, Cormier says he would choose Khabib, describing him as shorter, burly and more of a grinder.
