Rafael Fiziev remembered his debut fight in the UFC, in which he lost early to Magomed Mustafaev. In particular, “Ataman” told how he managed to talk with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“We crossed paths and shook hands. “Salaam, salam.” Khabib then came up, I didn’t expect anything from him at all. “Salaam, how are you, good luck in the battle, back and forth.” He approached me quite warmly and from the heart. It was nice. It just stuck in my mind. With Islam there was only “Salam, salam.” Abulmanap Nurmagomedov? It was an honor for me to just come up and shake hands. Because coach. I said hello and showed respect. And that’s it.”
