Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov refused to shake Kate Scott’s hand during a Champions League TV segment on account of his faith.

The football world converged in Germany on Saturday night as the Allianz Arena hosted the 2025 Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan.

CBS Sports covered the action with their regular punditry trio of Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards and presenter Scott.

After Les Parisiens’ crushing 5-0 victory, the group were joined at pitch side by popular streamer IShowSpeed and the UFC icon.

 

As the undefeated former fighter made his way over to his group he embraced each member individually before declining a handshake from Scott as her hand remained awkwardly outstretched.

Nurmagomedov then appeared to clarify his refusal to the presenter – previously known as Kate Abdo prior to her marriage to boxing trainer Malik Scott last year – who subsequently apologised on air.

Nurmagomedov had just shaken the hands of Scott’s male colleagues, including Micah Richard.

Born in the Russian republic of Dagestan, the fighter is a devout Sunni Muslim and has been described as the faith’s second most famous athlete in the world, after Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah.

In Islam it is forbidden for a believer to touch a member of the opposite sex that they are not related to.

The incident comes after a fellow UFC fighter and female team-mate of Nurmagomedov’s revealed in 2020 that he would not train directly with her.

‘It’s a little bit weird because of their religion… they won’t train with women,’ Cynthia Calvillo told theScore.

‘(Khabib) is still showing technique and stuff like that. So I still get to watch it. But it doesn’t bother me … because they’re not really being directly rude to me.’

Nurmagomedov’s handshake refusal led to a mixed reaction on social media, with some fans insisting that he had not meant to offend Scott.

‘Khabib respectfully declining Kate Abdo’s handshake #respect,’ wrote one X user.

‘Beautiful! Very respectful from Khabib. I love to see this,’ added another fan.

“She didn’t cry. She didn’t speak. But the way she looked at Taylor… said everything.” When Travis got down on one knee, the first person Taylor looked for wasn’t the camera — it was her mother. When Travis Kelce pulled out the ring, all eyes were on Taylor Swift. But behind the cameras, there was one person who didn’t move, didn’t blink — and whose silence spoke louder than anything else. Her face didn’t collapse, her lips didn’t tremble — but her eyes… they carried something unsaid. A quiet weight, a hidden question, the kind of truth only a mother can see. Was it pride? Relief? Or a trace of something more complicated — a moment too real to disguise with a smile? What exactly did Taylor’s mom witness… that made the entire room freeze?
