Vadim Nemkov believes Alexander Ovechkin more recognizable than Khabib in America

Bellator fighter Vadim Nemkov shared his opinion that NHL star Alexander Ovechkin is currently more recognizable in America than retired UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. In an interview, Nemkov explained that hockey is very popular in America with many children playing the sport, and all young hockey players know who Ovechkin is. He noted that Ovechkin gained massive attention when he broke Wayne Gretzky's record and continues to set new records while remaining in the spotlight. In contrast, Nemkov believes Khabib is no longer as well-known since he's retired and doesn't appear in the news as frequently.
