Fans have had their say as it appeared that former UFC fighter and PSG supporter Khabib Nurmagomedov \u2018refused\u2019 to shake CBS Sports presenter Kate Scott\u2019s hand following the Champions League final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott \u2013 formerly Kate Abdo \u2013 was joined by former footballers\u00a0Thierry Henry<\/a>,\u00a0Jamie Carragher<\/a>,\u00a0Micah Richards<\/a>\u00a0and internet personality\u00a0iShowSpeed<\/a>\u00a0during a segment of CBS Sports\u2019 coverage of\u00a0PSG<\/a>\u2019s 5-0 victory against\u00a0Inter Milan<\/a>\u00a0in Munich, Germany, on Saturday evening (May 31).<\/p>\n

The group were chatting about how\u00a0Khabib<\/a>\u00a0is a PSG fan and is close friends with club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.<\/p>\n

At the end of the segment, the group began to shake hands with one another, but fans noticed that Khabib did not choose to shake the hand of Scott despite her offering and instead put his hand on his heart.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to have their say on incident on social media but there may be an explanation.<\/p>\n

One said: “Great interaction between Khabib and Kate, respect other people\u2019s boundaries and no need to be in your feelings about it. Khabib showed respect in his way while sticking to his principles. Top class.”<\/p>\n

Another added: “Great appreciation to Khabib for holding firmly to his beliefs, and great appreciation to Kate for understanding that.”<\/p>\n

A third commented: “It was a bit awkward seeing Khabib skip the handshake with Kate. She handled it like a total pro, though\u2014calm and classy.”<\/p>\n

While a fourth explained: “All you man complaining in the replies. In his own beliefs, he showed her the UTMOST respect by not shaking her hand. If he did, it would almost essentially be him disrespecting her.”<\/p>\n
