In his short UFC career, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been nothing if not brash and outspoken. The Russian Sambist has made something of a name for himself with his “If Sambo was easy it would be called Jiu Jitsu” T-Shirts and a long string of lightweight callouts on his way up the ranks. As often as not he’s made good use of his prodigious Photoshop skills to poke fun at some of the UFC’s best fighters as he searches for his next fight. Now it would appear, with a the bout agreements signed, he’s turning his trash-talk game to Rafael dos Anjos, and dos Anjos’ self-stated goal of teaching the young Russian a little respect.

Rafael dos Anjos vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov is scheduled for UFC on Fox 11, on April 19 in Orlando Flordia. Here’s a look at the current card:
