Quick read
Manager Azamat Bostanov recalls his experience covering Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC 223 title win eight years ago. After Bostanov interviewed Artem Lobov following the famous bus incident, manager Ali Abdelaziz told him to stay away from their team. However, Khabib put his arm around Bostanov and told Abdelaziz that he was "our guy" just doing his job. Bostanov also remembers 20-30 Dagestanis gathering at the hotel ready to confront Conor McGregor's team if they arrived. After winning the belt, an exhausted Khabib still took time to greet fans, take photos, and talk to strangers crowding his hotel room and floor.
