KhabibKhabib Nurmagomedov: UFC News: Lionel Messi’s career for Argentina following the Maradona Wizardry against Mexico in 1986 had a fairytale conclusion. And the world of football now has Argentina as a champion for FIFA 2022. But that cannot be said for Cristiano Ronaldo, the man with whom Messi has always been compared and who will always be the subject of debate among football fans as to who is the greatest.

Khabib Nurmagomedov: The UFC Legend called Zlatan Ibrahimovic as “Father of Football”
The FIFA World Cup recently brought together football lovers from all over the world in Qatar. During which we saw numerous celebrities meeting each other and a lot of cross-sport gatherings have thus taken place. Likewise, a photo of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Zlatan Ibrahimovic generated a lot of attention among MMA and soccer fans online. Recently, the Swedish superstar shared a picture with UFC legend on his Instagram Story which you can see the following.
Khabib Nurmagomedov: UFC legend hails ‘father of football’ and it’s not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo
Resharing the same story Nurmagomedov called him, ‘father of football’ which indeed tells a lot. As per undefeated UFC legend believes that Ibrahimovic also deserves to be included in the same sentence as Messi and Ronaldo. Given the fact that although he has passed his prime he is still one of the finest in the sports.
Well, if you look closely at the AC Milan superstar’s career, he has accomplished some things that neither Messi nor Ronaldo have ever done. For example, he have perhaps scored the greatest bicycle kick of all time from an incredible 29.53 meters away.
Zlatan’s prior MMA experience and training in taekwondo may also influence Nurmagomedov to laud him highly. He truly is one of Sweden’s greatest exports. Zlatan exhibited remarkable consistency. And at the age of 41 he continued to rule every league he participated in. The argument therefore has some merit and isn’t entirely incorrect.
