The connection between the UFC and NBA is evident, as fighters from mixed martial arts (MMA) also appreciate basketball.
Notably, Khabib shared an image of the champions on his Instagram story, captioning it with “Bay Area” to honor the Warriors’ achievement.
It’s fascinating to witness these cross-sport interactions, where athletes from different disciplines come together to celebrate each other’s successes.
Whether it’s in the octagon or on the basketball court, moments like these remind us of the camaraderie and respect that transcends sports boundaries.
Fans reacted as follows:
