Nurmagomedov becomes the second most popular person in the Russian Instagram

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov came in second place among Russians in the number of followers on Instagram. The fighter's account now has almost 13 million subscribers, which raised him to the second line of Russia's most popular people on this social network.

After the victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 229, Nurmagomedov gained almost four million subscribers. Interestingly, the rapid growth of its audience continues to this day. Today, a mixed-style fighter bypassed Timati, a famous Russian performer (12.97 million). The singer and TV presenter Olga Buzova still holds the first place. She has 13.98 million subscribers, but with such growth Nurmagomedov may well take the lead in the coming weeks.
