Vadim Nemkov believes Alexander Ovechkin more recognizable than Khabib in America

Vadim Nemkov stated in an interview that he believes Alexander Ovechkin is currently more recognizable than Khabib Nurmagomedov in America. Nemkov explained that many children in America play hockey from a young age, and all young hockey players know who Ovechkin is. He noted that Ovechkin gained significant attention after breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and continues to set records while remaining in the spotlight. According to Nemkov, Khabib is not as well-known anymore, does not generate as much buzz, and does not appear in the news as frequently. The post does not provide context on what prompted Nemkov's comparison.
