“When Khabib had a headache, he didn’t even take a pill once again – the same is with Islam,” Zavurov said in an interview. RB Sport. “All my life we have been going to this, and suddenly something is not right. Any pill from the head or some kind of painkiller – they sent it to the manager and only after his agreement with the UFC could they drink “

He just hasn’t met a fighter like Islam.”
