No one is safe from Dillon Danis' clout-seeking troll attacks online - not even the great Khabib Nurmagomedov. In a recent video posted by ESPN MMA on Instagram, 'The Eagle' spoke about his son, Magomed, explaining that he was far too young to remember his father's legendary MMA career.
Khabib Nurmagomedov said:
"When I ended my career my kids were little. So I was lucky because they didn't understand anything. Now that they're of conscious age, I'm no longer a fighter. My son [Magomed] asked: '[UFC lightweight champion] Islam Makhachev is a very good fighter. Were you that good?' He doesn't even remember that I fought...I say I was there before Islam. Islam was also trained by my father [the late Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov]. He's still young, doesn't really understand it. I say 'I was almost at his [Makhachev's] level'. He [my son] hasn't even seen my belt, I need to show it to him."

Despite the undeniably wholesome nature of the conversation, Danis managed to insert a rather distasteful comment to it, insinuating an incestuous nature to 'The Eagle' and his blood ties:
"Khabib's son is his nephew"
Fans are unsurprisingly outraged by the incestuous comment, with @julialfaro_70 saying:
"A YouTuber humiliated you"
Another Instagram user, @at_017, replied with:
"u were choked by random bar security guard 😂😂😂😂"

The brief history between Dillon Danis and Khabib Nurmagomedov
The beef between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dillon Danis dates back years. However, it's perhaps best to describe it as Danis repeatedly trolling the Dagestani MMA legend online and in real life.
In 2018, Danis was the cornerman and grappling coach of Irish megastar Conor McGregor. Leading up to the most-watched MMA event of all time, UFC 229, Nurmagomedov was subject to verbal attacks from McGregor and his team members, specifically Danis.
After Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor via submission, he jumped the Octagon fence and attacked Danis, ensuing a now-infamous brawl.
Here's a video of the inciting incident of the brawl, as posted by TMZ Sports:
