Whatever trouble Khabib Nurmagomedov might have to deal with in the United States, that didn’t matter one bit to his fans in his home in the Republic of Dagestan.
After successfully defending his UFC lightweight championship in the main event of UFC 229 against hated rival Conor McGregor this past Saturday, Nurmagomedov returned to the Russian republic and it looked like the entire city of Kaspiysk was made aware of his arrival, judging by videos posted by Denis Geyko of RT International.
Fans gathered outside of the Anzhi Arena to welcome Nurmagomedov before filing into the 26,000+ seat football stadium in Kaspiysk, Dagestan.
