Nurmagomedov posted pictures and a video of their meeting on his social media, writing, ‘With legendary @stephencurry in Toronto.’

Nurmagomedov saw Curry lead the Warriors with 25 points, making seven attempts from three-point territory. He also tallied six rebounds and six ᴀssists in the win.

Although Golden State had a rough start this season, they recently hit a stride to win 11 of their last 13 games.

The Warriors will look to extend their win streak to four games as their East Coast road trip heads to Boston on Sunday. They currently sit ninth in the Western Conference with a 32-17 record.

Nurmagomedov vacated his UFC lightweight тιтle when he retired in 2020 with a perfect 29-0 record. The end of his career boasted consecutive finishes over top contenders Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje.

He has since served as a coach to current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and ran his MMA promotion, Eagle FC.
