Watch Khabib give Daniel Cormier so much flack for not wearing dress shoes with his suit

There’s nothing quite like a bit of banter between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Daniel Cormier.

In their latest friendly spat, UFC lightweight champion Nurmagomedov couldn’t help but notice the shoes Cormier opted to pair up with his suit during his commentary duties for UFC on ESPN 20.

The conversation took place in the locker room just moments before Umar Nurmagomedov made the walk for his UFC debut, and it was all captured on video by their head coach Javier Mendez.

Nurmagomedov is seen lecturing Cormier on his Cole Haan tennis shoes and gives him an earful on how he should have invested in a pair of formal shoes to go with his suit.

A day later during a media scrum with MMA Junkie and other reporters, Cormier recounted what Umar told him in the locker room, where he promised to buy him a pair of $1,200 Loro Piana shoes if he won his fight. Sure enough, not only did Umar win, but he cinched the “Performance of the Night” bonus when he submitted Sergey Morozov in the second round.

We are yet to see if Umar came through…
