UFC Lightweight Champion Habib Nurmagomedov at the request of the host “MATCH TV»Commented on the fight Magomed Ismailova and Vladimir Mineevthat took place in Moscow at the Fight Nights Global Winter Cup tournament on December 24.
“Between the two of them, this is promotion, but between other people who got there, this is no longer promotion. My opinion – they shouldn’t have climbed. Many may say: “Why is Khabib commenting on this, he himself took part in such a fight.” But when we were in the arena in Las Vegas, there were five of us. When I jumped out of the cage, I jumped out alone for his entire team. My corners were at that moment on the other corner of the net. When I flew in from the battle, my father told me that he was unhappy with this act. At that moment I wanted to tell him, dodge, this, that. But he said that time will pass and I will come to what he says. I am slowly coming to this. Even if I do this, it does not mean that it is possible. If someone from my team does it, it does not mean that it is possible. What is not good, it always remains bad. Neither I, no one, we should arrange such fights. You must always control your emotions. Only because the younger generation is looking at us. They, looking at us, think that they can too. I would like to all these people (looked at the screen where the fight between Ismailov and Mineev was shown) to advise that next time they be more restrained. “
