Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the greatest fighters in MMA history. He remains the only UFC champion to retire undefeated with a record of 29 wins and zero losses. Furthermore, he is a devout Muslim and has amassed enough of a following to be recognized as the most popular Muslim athlete in the world.
Yet even this popularity was not enough to stop fans from expressing their frustration with 'The Eagle's' recent tweet. The unbeaten Dagestani legend took to Twitter to promote the Gameplan, which is being billed as the world's first-ever sports-based metaverse, which is a shared virtual space.

What has Khabib Nurmagomedov been up to since retiring?
Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje in dominant fashion at UFC 254. After the 29th triumph of his career, 'The Eagle' announced his official retirement from the sport. Despite Dana White's best efforts to coax him back for a blockbuster rematch with Conor McGregor, the Russian legend refused.
Since retiring, Nurmagomedov has been involved in numerous ventures. He has remained close to MMA as a coach, guiding Belal Muhammad to his first finish in three years. Furthermore, he was instrumental in Islam Makhachev's title-winning performance against Charles Oliveira at UFC 280.
However, after impressing the MMA world with his coaching exploits, 'The Eagle' walked away from his role to spend more time with his family. He has also been an active businessman, serving as the public face of Eagle FC, which hosted its most recent event last December.
