Azamat Bostanov recalls Khabib's kindness at UFC 223 title win in Brooklyn

Manager Azamat Bostanov shared detailed memories from Khabib Nurmagomedov's championship victory at UFC 223 in Brooklyn eight years ago. Despite manager Ali Abdel-Aziz initially telling Bostanov to stay away from the team, Khabib intervened and welcomed him, saying he was just doing his job. Bostanov recalled how 20-30 Dagestanis gathered at the hotel ready to prevent any provocations from Conor McGregor's team. He also revealed that Zabit Magomedsharipov fought with two broken fingers at the same event, keeping the injury secret to avoid being pulled from the card. After the fight, Khabib's hotel floor was packed with people, many of whom he didn't know, but he still took time to greet everyone and posed for photos with his championship belt. Bostanov emphasized that Khabib remained humble and approachable even after becoming champion, recalling how Khabib once spotted him on the street and offered him a ride.
