2 Minutes Ago: Khabib & Islam’s Viral Hot Tub Photo Causes New UFC Drama! - Video

The MMA world was rocked this week by the return of a photo that has been a source of both humor and controversy for years. Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, and their Team Khabib teammates became the center of attention when a picture of them crammed into a hot tub resurfaced during a UFC 311 press conference. The photo, which initially sparked trash talk from Conor McGregor and Paulo Costa, was brought up by Merab Dvalishvili, reigniting the debate about its bizarre nature.


Former teammate Daniel Cormier had never seen the image before and couldn’t believe it was real, adding even more fuel to the fire. As fans on MMA Twitter have weighed in with jokes and critiques, some defend the photo as a symbol of Team Khabib’s camaraderie and brotherhood, while others find it a little too weird for comfort. Meanwhile, Khabib and Islam have stayed silent, but the renewed attention has only made the rivalry between fighters more intense. What’s your take on this viral moment?
