Myles Price jokes with Khabib Nurmagomedov, pictured in San Jose, California in 2019 / PICTURE: Frujuice Athletics @frujuice_athletics
Back in 2019, undefeated UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was spotted backing the Cats for the All-Ireland!
At the time, the fearsome Russian fighter was training with Kilkenny's own Myles 'Splinter' Price in San Jose, California.
The picture went viral back then when it was shared online, and spread rapidly across GAA and UFC circles.
Unfortunately, despite the attention it received at the time, it didn't translate into good luck for Kilkenny.
Here's hoping that this year, fate will return a different result.
