Khabib himself is very closely involved in the process of helping (drug addicts). I helped a lot of people. 50 people whom he helped to rehabilitate. And he helps them financially, and they are such difficult people who need some kind of authoritative person who would turn to him and motivate him,” Zaidov said of Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Khabib devoted his time, came, paid attention, talked to them. It is even worth more than financial assistance. Financial aid, when it is unnecessary, it is like a ransom.
