However, even someone as accomplished as 'The Eagle' is not immune to controversy. The Dagestani's attempt to offer offensive advice to women interested in pursuing a career in MMA has sparked backlash. While Khabib's intentions may have been well-meaning, his comments have received widespread criticism for being insensitive and dismissive of the challenges faced by female fighters in the male-dominated sport.

During a public interaction in 2018, Khabib Nurmagomedov remarked:

"For females, I have very good advice, be fighters at home. And one more advice, all the time, finish your husband."
