Fans surprise Nurmagomedov with victory chant at training camp

Khabib Nurmagomedov's fans are no joke.

In an episode of "UFC Embedded" published Monday, "The Eagle" was treated to a surprise visit at American Kickboxing Academy by a horde of his fellow Muslims clad in custom T-shirts and armed with a rotation of supportive chants ahead of their torchbearer's interim lightweight title fight opposite Tony Ferguson at UFC 209.

The Russian blushed in appreciation while his supporters bellowed "Khabib! Khabib! Put him to sleep!" in unison, and promised to emerge from the Octagon as the promotion's first Muslim champion on Saturday.
