An improbable summit meeting! While enjoying the end-of-year celebrations under the Middle Eastern sun, several sports stars found themselves, by chance, this week in an opulent establishment in the region, probably in Dubai.
Former MMA champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov shared a post on his social networks where he is at the same table as French international Paul Pogba and former football glory Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
An MMA fan, the Swede, known for his acrobatic movements – the “Zlatanesques” -, his bloody shots and his legendary punchlines, took the opportunity to compete against the fighter of Russian origin in an arm wrestling match. All under the eyes of a hilarious Paul Pogba.
“I feel the spirit”
“Be honest: what do you feel? Do you feel it? », asks Nurmagomedov, 37 years old and retired from the octagon cages, to Ibrahimovic in front of him. “I feel the spirit,” replies the 44-year-old Swede with a smile before the two men stop this standoff without a winner.
The footage has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on social media. In another photo, Nurmagomedov poses with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his two sons Maximilian and Vincent, who has just signed his first professional contract with AC Milan. Club whose father became the president’s advisor after having been a player.
Ibrahimovic also published this Wednesday on his social networks a short video where, on the beach in front of the famous Burj Al Arad Jumeirah Tower in Dubai, the former PSG player proves that he is still in shape.
After a series of jungles, he does a series of push-ups in the sand with the ball firmly placed on the back of his neck, then finishes with a spectacular acrobatic flip. Zlatanesque!
