Khabib Nurmagomedov joins up with Real Madrid for training<\/h2>\n

In a brand new video shared to social media, Khabib Nurmagomedov could be seen heading to the training pitch with quite a lot of Real Madrid stars. Jude Bellingham even repeats his infamous line \u2018send me location\u2019 that became famous during his bitter feud with Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

Khabib Nurmagomedov found himself in a really different setting this week, entering into a Real Madrid training session and sharing a moment with Jude Bellingham. Khabib filmed Bellingham saying \u201csend me location\u201d, a playful nod to the road he once aimed toward Conor McGregor. There\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/0uxhNAc9lr<\/a><\/p>\n

The Real Madrid players have clearly taken to fighting in recent weeks after attending PFL\u2019s big event in Madrid last month. Bellingham, Thibaut Courtois and more were spotted on the show where the Brit\u2019s countryman Fabian Edwards fought Costello Van Steenis in a middleweight title rematch.<\/p>\n

Federico Valverde even copied his fellow Uruguayan Luciano Pereira\u2019s stunning knockout a number of days later when he celebrated by punching the corner flag after scoring against Atletico Madrid in the large derby.<\/p>\n

Before getting back to the hotel and eventually returning to Uruguay, the fighter was gifted a match-worn jersey personally by Valverde as a congratulatory prize for winning his promotional debut. They shared some words backstage and embraced, before posing for photos together.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Valverde he could have taken the fighting too far as he was sent off after scoring a significant goal within the 3-2 win for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
