He revealed that in Dagestan, MMA enjoys the same popularity as Cricket in India.
“MMA is huge over there after Khabib Nurmagomedov became a champion in the UFC. Like cricket is here in India, I would say MMA is bigger in Dagestan. It is that huge. All the fighters over there, they are training since childhood.”
