Khabib Nurmagomedov is no stranger to being a disciple of discipline. Known for his no-nonsense approach to life and fighting, the former UFC lightweight champion’s rigorous methods shaped him into the legend he is today. And there is no room for distractions in any shape or form.

But recently, a humorous confession during a YouTube video with Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson gave fans a rare glimpse into Khabib’s unorthodox methods of enforcing said discipline. Khabib admitted to breaking his cousin Abubakar Nurmagomedov’s computer, blaming the former UFC flyweight champion for enabling Abubakar’s gaming habits.

UFC legend Khabib “jokingly” blames Demetrius Johnson for gaming too much with Abubakar

Demetrius Jonson posted a video on his YouTube channel in December 2024, where Johnson joined Khabib, Islam Makhachev, and others at the UFC Apex facility. What began as lighthearted banter about video games turned a bit serious when Khabib jokingly accused Johnson of encouraging Abubakar’s gaming addiction. Whichis a real thing by the way.

The incident traces back to Abubakar’s early UFC career, during which he lost two big fights. One in 2019 to David Zawada and another in 2023 against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. Khabib linked these defeats to Abubakar’s gaming habit allegedly fueled by his close bond with Johnson. In thevideo, Khabib jokingly blamed Johnson for encouraging the distraction, saying, “Because of you, you take him all the time to game, he lose one fight! I remember this.“

Johnson, who admitted to spending countless hours gaming as a child, was quick to clarify that Abubakar no longer played as much. However, Khabib revealed the shocking reason behind this change. And you can bet this revelation came as a culture shock to Johnson.

Khabib went ahead and did what every gamer’s dad threatens them with

The breaking point, quite literally, came when Khabib decided to “fix” the problem by smashing Abubakar’s computer. “Brother, we break his computer. I know you think we joking, but we did.” Delivered with Khabib’s signature deadpan humor, the statement sounded like a joke in the moment but the former champion assured everyone he was entirely serious.

What was even funnier than Khabib’s perfect deadpan delivery was the fans’ reaction online. The internet wasted no time turning Khabib’s confession into comedic gold. Memes flooded social media, with fans poking fun at the idea of Khabib acting like a strict father confronting a naughty child. This certainlynot the kind of celeb turned gamer storyyou’d expect.

The situation is a perfect example of Khabib’s leadership style within the Dagestani MMA community. The Dagestani team is known for its rigorous training regimen and mental fortitude, traits that have produced champions like Islam Makhachev and Umar Nurmagomedov. And that is the kind of discipline that Khabib wants.
