Quick read
Bellator champion Vadim Nemkov stated in an interview that he believes NHL star Alexander Ovechkin is currently more recognizable in America than Khabib Nurmagomedov. Nemkov explained that hockey is widely played by children in the United States, making Ovechkin a household name among young athletes and their families. He noted that Ovechkin's profile increased significantly after breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and that he continues to set records and remain in the news. In contrast, Nemkov suggested that Khabib is less prominent now as he no longer competes and does not appear in news coverage as frequently.
