Khabib channels the Kremlin in his defeat of McGregor. The goal here was not just defeating McGregor, but to humiliate and demoralize him through the utmost disrespect possible. Now he will become one of the most hated fighters in the UFC and will likely receive a medal at home.
During Khabib Nurmagomedov’s post-fight interview, the new UFC lightweight champion appealed to Russian president Vladimir Putin to provide help to Ziyavudin Magomedov, who was arrested last week on embezzlement and organized crime charges. fightsports.tv/khabib-asks-pu…
Ziyavudin's brother and business partner Magomed Magomedov sued Viktor Vekselberg, Leonard Blavatnik, and Leonid Lebedev in a New York state court for $1.3 billion, accusing them of seizing Nizhnevartovskneftegaz in 1997.
Magomed Magomedov and Artur Maksidov, the head of a company in the Summa Group that was involved in the construction of a soccer World Cup venue in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, have also been detained.

"He clarified that both prisoners "waited a long time for this fight because a lot was done to ensure that it took place." According to Melnikov, there are no complaints about the conditions of detention."
Khabib will also be facing discipline from his father, Abdulmanap. He did not mince words when it came to his son’s decision to start a brawl. The elder Nurmagomedov was not able to be in Las Vegas for the fight, due to issues obtaining a VISA. cagesidepress.com/2018/10/08/kha…
Ali Abdelaziz, Khabib’s Manager, an Egyptian, was recruited as an FBI informant in 2002 when he was sitting in a Colorado jail cell on forgery charges. Abdelaziz became an informant in the NYPD's investigation into the "Muslims of America," an extremist group in Virginia. 
When asked if he told anyone in Egypt that he was a Confidential Informant, the FBI determined that Abdelaziz was lying; a test used to determine if an informant is a double agent. An attempt to deport him was unsuccessful.

While living in Islamberg, Abdelaziz married and bore a child with the sister of a high-ranking MOA member. He bragged how she unwittingly provided him access to her brother and his cache of documents as they all lived together in a double wide trailer. fight-madness.com/wsof-and-ali-a…
