Azamat Bostanov recalls Nurmagomedov's UFC 223 title win and kindness

Manager Azamat Bostanov shared detailed memories of Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC 223 title win in Brooklyn eight years ago. Bostanov, then a YouTube journalist, arrived on the day of the infamous Lobov confrontation and interviewed Lobov despite Ali Abdelaziz warning him away from the team. Khabib intervened positively, saying Bostanov was "our guy" just doing his job. Bostanov recalls 20-30 Dagestanis gathering at the hotel ready to prevent Conor's team from provoking Khabib, and noted that Zabit Magomedsharipov fought with two broken fingers without telling the commission. After the victory, despite exhaustion and crowds, Khabib took time to photograph with Bostanov and talk to everyone who wanted attention, even strangers making video calls. Bostanov emphasizes that Khabib remained humble and accessible throughout his championship reign, recounting a later encounter where Khabib offered him a ride.
