Khabib Nurmagomedov
Russian mixed style fighters (MMA) supported the creature of UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who called French President Emmanuel Macron. Comments are available on the athlete's Instagram.
The fighters reacted to the post of an athlete with an emoji with an upturned index finger, denoting a greeting in Islam. Among them are Zabit Magomedsharipov and Ramazan Emeev, who play under the auspices of the UFC, as well as Magomed Ismailov, ASA champion Albert Tumenov, President of the MMA Federation of the Saratov Region Datsi Datsiev and Hasan Umalatov, who also played in the UFC.
Earlier on October 30, Nurmagomedov appealed to Muslims, calling Macron a creature. He considered that under the slogan of freedom of speech, the politician offends the feelings of more than one and a half billion Muslim believers, and attached a photo of Macron with a shoe print superimposed on him.
Several armed attacks had taken place in France a day earlier. The attacks followed Macron's speech, in which he denounced the “crisis of Islam” and criticized the quality of the integration of visiting Muslims into French society. The reason for the president's speech was the assassination of school teacher Samuel Pati. His head was cut off because he showed his disciples cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
Nurmagomedov is the UFC lightweight champion. On October 24, he defeated American Justin Gage and announced his retirement from the sport.
