MMA fighter Rasul Mirzaev of Russia recalled all the details of the attack he experienced in 2016.
"It was done by set-up hands that dance in front of their master. I know who he is - I know everything, but one is not a warrior in the field. You know, everything happened not even because of Lobov, but because of Husein Hasanov (a popular blogger). They wanted to drag him out on the street, and I knew what they could do to him there. We were in the Clouds club. I came a little later than Huseyn and Artem. I was told that some guys were aiming to do something to Huseyn. Later, at one point, I looked and he was nowhere to be found. I started running around, looking for him, and I caught the moment when they were taking him outside. I told them to get their hands off, one of them grabbed me. I elbowed him and said: "Get out of here." By the way, before that I approached the guards and told them something might happen and they were alert. A little while later I went out as a senior to talk to them and straighten things out. During the conversation, I realized that the person I hit had a gun behind his back.
"I was at a loss. My hands were shaking from wanting to do something, but not doing it. The guards eventually disarmed those with guns. And I stood there wondering what I should do. However, I got into the car and drove away in silence.
"Then people started calling me and talking for these... I don't even know what to call them. Then I found out that they were plotting revenge. Did they come to kill me? It's hard to say right now. Everyone's seen the video. I think you can see from there what they wanted. The most important thing is that I survived and am sitting here talking to you.
