Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is against the idea of a fight between Dagestan blogger Khasbulla Magomedov (aka Hasbik) and singer from Tajikistan Abdurozik.
“Let’s make people understand what the situation is: Hasbik lives in Khushet. We have Saygit, Islam, Gadzhi, and he is a neighbor of those of our guys who live in Khushet. We met Hasbeek in Khushet before he became a star. And when we have some events, fights, we invite him not to sit at home, to unwind. We bring to Moscow. Fans also want to see him, because he is an interesting character. I don’t even know about combat. I didn’t care about his fight. I think why does he need to fight? I understand that everyone is hyped, and that in general, the hype topic is views, likes. I don’t think these people should [драться]”, Khabib said at a press conference that took place on December 13 in Moscow.
“I don’t support him going out and fighting in the octagon with Abdurozik and so on. They are both on a strong hype right now. If they become friends, do some joint projects, I think they can bring great benefits. One businessman, I don’t know his name, paid them either a million, or one million for two, so that they would not fight. He saw that this fight was being promoted, went out to them and made this donation. And he took their word that this fight would not happen. Such information is also available. I wouldn’t want them to fight either.”
