Khabib Nurmagomedov is a huge football lover and the former UFC lightweight champion has already made it known how much he adores 'The Beautiful Game'.
Taking to social media, 'The Eagle' posted a clip of him scoring an incredible goal, one that can't help but remind everyone of Brazilian legend 'El Fenomeno' Ronaldo.

Throughout his career, Ronaldo has scored some of the most vital goals for his nation and even at club level.
During his time with the Brazilian National Team, 'El Fenomeno' helped his nation win the FIFA World Cup in 2002 and was also part of Brazil's World Cup-winning squad in 1994.
While Ronaldo has scored some of the most amazing goals throughout his career, one of his signature scoring styles was rounding the goalkeeper and tucking the ball into the net. The former Brazil forward scored 88 of his 414 goals by going past the goalkeeper.
A former multi-time UEFA Champions League winner, Ronaldo, often dubbed as 'R9' has played for some of the biggest teams in the world.
The Brazilian sensation has represented FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are regarded as the two biggest clubs in Spain. Ronaldo has also played for both Inter Milan and AC Milan, who are among the biggest clubs in Italy.
