Azamat Bostanov, now a fighter manager, recalls his experience covering Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC 223 title win in Brooklyn eight years ago. Manager Ali Abdelaziz initially told Bostanov not to approach the team after he interviewed Artem Lobov, but Khabib intervened, saying Bostanov was "our guy" just doing his job. After winning the title, Khabib remained gracious despite exhaustion, taking photos with fans and speaking to strangers on video calls in his hotel room. Zabית Magomedsharipov also fought on that card, secretly competing with two broken fingers sustained during warmups. The account highlights Khabib's consistent humility even after becoming champion.
