After a national guard officer was shot and killed at a nightclub in Dagestan, Khabib Nurmagomedov has called for the closure of all nightclubs in his native republic.

The UFC lightweight champion reposted an Instagram message by the founder of the ‘Pure Heart’ charity foundation Eldar Iraziev, who called on nightclub owners to terminate their “dirty business.”

”I fully support Eldar Iraziev,” said Khabib. “A question to my fellow Dagestanis: what benefit do these night clubs bring to our society?”
