"We were acquainted with Khabib Nurmagomedov. We invited him to a meeting with the team. Thank you, he didn't turn us down, he visited our club without refusing our invitation."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Asif Asgarov, Chairman of the Board of "Qarabag", in his statement to Telegraf.
The 44-year-old official recalled that Islam Makhachev, the former lightweight champion, also participated in the meeting: "It was a sports event. We have mutual respect. They also watch Qarabag's games. They even say they are our fans. That is, when our team plays, they don't pass it over, they follow the score and highlights of our games."
It should be noted that Khabib Nurmagomedov is the former UFC lightweight belt holder. The Dagestani fighter, who ended his career in 2021, won all 29 of his fights.
