Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about a telephone conversation with Cain Velasquezwho is in custody in the United States.

The former UFC heavyweight champion could face a serious prison sentence for attempting to kill a man suspected of molesting his close relative.

“Did I communicate with Cain Velasquez? Yes, we talked for 5-7 minutes before the flight. They are given the right to call there a day. For about half an hour or an hour you can chat with your loved ones. He, as far as I know, speaks with children, with family. I also talked with him. I was surprised how he holds himself, how he speaks. We even joked.

There were moments that he discussed related to his case... Well, what can you do? At this time and in this place, he is so tested by the Almighty. So he needs to go through it, ”said Khabib.
