UFC 223 'Thrill and Agony' shows warm moment between Khabib Nurmagomedov, Daniel Cormier

UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has been one of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s most vocal supporters for some time now, so naturally he was on hand to show his teammate some love at UFC 223.

In the latest installment of “The Thrill and Agony,” we see the American Kickboxing Academy teammates embrace each other shortly after “The Eagle” became the first Russian-born champion in UFC history.

UFC 223 took place this past Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. A chaotic fight week unlike any before culminated with Nurmagomedov (26-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) dominating Al Iaquinta (13-4-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) in the main event to become the undisputed lightweight champion.

“Thrill and Agony” also takes us behind the scenes with strawweight champion Rose Namajunas (8-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who solidified her status by winning the rematch with ex-champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC).
