“The quality of a man is not determined by wins and losses,” the Russian wrote on social media, posting a joint photo with Salikhov and Khizriev. “Keep your heads up, brothers! Each of you has the character of a man and the disposition of a Muslim, and fights and everything else are just a part of sports life”
We would like to remind you that Muslim Salikhov lost by knockout to Jamaican-born Randy Brown in the first round, and Aliaskhab Khizriev got his finger in the eye of Uzbekistan’s Mahmud Muradov in the 11th second of the match, as a result of which the fight was recognized as canceled.
Undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov will return to the octagon on March 2 at UFC Fight Night 238 in Las Vegas, but the name of his opponent remains unknown.
