Vadim Nemkov believes Alexander Ovechkin more recognizable than Khabib in America

Vadim Nemkov stated in an interview that Alexander Ovechkin is currently more recognizable in America than Khabib Nurmagomedov. Nemkov explained that many American children play hockey from a young age and know Ovechkin, especially after he broke Wayne Gretzky's record and continues setting new records. He believes Ovechkin consistently appears in news and remains in the spotlight. By contrast, Nemkov suggests Khabib is less well-known now as he no longer generates as much media attention or appears in headlines as frequently.
