India’s fitness icon Sahil Khan went on to acknowledge UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov after the MMA celebrity said the ‘signature’ words which Sahil Khan uses to brand himself.

Sahil Khan recently took to Instagram and posted a video of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. In the video, Khabib Nurmagomedov is spotted alongside his teammates. However, the most interesting part of the clip appeared to be Khabib Nurmagomedov spitting the exact words of Sahil Khan and his business ventures. “If you don’t know, now you know,” said Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Apparently the quote may sound plain and simple, but Indian fitness icon Sahil Khan uses the same words to promote his brand and he seemed more than thrilled to hear it from Khabib Nurmagomedov. Although ‘The Eagle’ did not take names or promote any of Sahil Khan’s brands, the former Bollywood actor still posted the clip from his official Instagram handle. While it’s still not clear whether Khabib Nurmagomedov had said the words for Sahil Khan or not, fitness fans have already started to shower their love on social media.
