Manager Azamat Bostanov shared detailed memories of attending Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC 223 title victory in Brooklyn eight years ago. Bostanov recounted how he interviewed Artem Lobov after the famous bus incident, which initially upset manager Ali Abdelaziz, but Khabib welcomed him saying "this is our guy, he's just doing his work." He described 20-30 Dagestanis gathering at the hotel ready to protect Khabib from potential Conor McGregor provocations. After the victory, despite being exhausted, Khabib took time to photograph with everyone, talk to strangers via video calls, and remained approachable. Bostanov also recalled how years later, Khabib spotted him on the street and offered him a ride, demonstrating his continued humble and friendly nature despite becoming champion.
