Manager: Khabib would 'smash John Cena's face' in WWE
Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager doesn't think any professional wrestlers would stand a chance against the now-retired UFC fighter if he decides to crossover into WWE
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Ali Abdelaziz was asked about the possibility of Nurmagomedov joining WWE and claimed the former lightweight champion would "smash" John Cena or anyone else who challenged him.
"Let's be real, (if) any of these soft steroid freaks wanted to go ahead and have a wrestling match with Khabib, and they wanna get beat up for real, they know who they need to call," Ali said. "He'll go there, and he'll smash John Cena's face. No problem."
Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from mixed martial arts in October following his win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. He has since been focused on coaching other fighters.
