Today I was invited to the World Cup final as a guest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This man is one of the greatest leaders of our time and I was honored to attend such a landmark event alongside him. Today was an honor for me Mr. Putin. Thank you and congratulations on an amazing World Cup. Россия вперёд!
At the final match was also attended by Russian champion UFC lightweight champion Habib Nurmagamedov.
Мечта детства, посетить финал Чемпионата Мира по футболу. Childhood dream come true #WorldCup2018 #Russia #football #soccer
Dream of childhood, visit the finals of the World Cup.
Habib also stated: “McGregor is now in our territory, in Russia, and we are showing hospitality, as it should be in such cases.Of course, if there had been an octagon in the center of the Luzhniki, we would certainly have met”
This year, the top fighters of the UFC had a conflict, during which McGregor attacked the bus in which Habib was traveling. The conflict ended in a cut of his face with a fragment of a glass of one of the fighters and a trial against McGregor.
September 15, 2018 UFC will first visit Russia with a tournament in Moscow. The composition of the participants is not fully known yet.
