Khabib Nurmagomedov is among the greatest MMA fighters ever to grace the UFC octagon. With a record of 29-0, ‘The Eagle’ is considered the greatest lightweight ever. He is also the longest-reigning 155-pound champion of all time.
Apart from his numerous accolades inside the octagon, Khabib Nurmagomedov is also known as someone who shows strict regard for what he considers morally upright. Throughout his career, the Dagestani grappling savant has earned praise from fans and peers for his unquestionable commitment to his religious ideals.
In the past, Khabib Nurmagomedov weighed in on the role of ring girls in MMA and drew the ire of many with his dismissive opinion of them. However, one occasion, a ring girl willingly covered up to avoid making the UFC Hall of Famer uncomfortable.
During a promotional appearance at an Octagon Fighting Sensation (OFS) event, Khabib Nurmagomedov came across one of the ring girls, Anna Galochkina. After the Russian went viral for her act of gracious accommodation, she explained:
“He’s not only the best athlete but the man for me! He’s a pride of Russia and a great MMA fighter. Of course, guests of the event were shocked seeing a ring girl putting on a longer skirt so fast. I respect the views and religion of Khabib, and I didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable.” (h/t rivercitypost.org)
