Revolutionary of the orange ball, Stephen Curry enchants basketball fans with his game but not only that. He has also attracted the attention of athletes from other disciplines, starting with Khabib Nurmagomedov. The former UFC champion recently sent him a big message.
In a frankly complicated season for the Warriors, who saw one of their stars leave the team for an indefinite period , he is once again one of the rare rays of sunshine. With more than 27 points on average (45% shooting including 41% from distance) accompanied by 4 rebounds and 5 assists every night, Stephen Curry does what he can so that his team can fight as long as possible for the title.
The Chef was also one of the main architects of the Dubs’ last victory, on the Raptors floor (120-105). Author of 25 points at 7/15 behind the arc, the Chief was entitled to a distinguished guest in Ontario. A certain Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC champion and MMA legend, went there to watch him play. He also had the right to a jersey signed by the leader, after the match:

With the legend Stephen Curry
Four championship rings and two MVPs on one side, an undefeated career record on the other (29 victories for no defeats): the combined track record of the two men is quite impressive and their meeting also ignited the fans of The Eagle.
Not just in the world, the best shooter of all time champ!
Legends watching legends.

Not just world champion, the best shooter of all time! Legends watching other legends play.
The worlds of basketball and MMA crossed paths for a few hours on the Raptors floor. Present in Ontario, Khabib Nurmagomedov is clearly one of Stephen Curry’s fans. It’s difficult to be more prestigious for the Chef!
