Another tragedy recently struck the combat sports world when professional boxer Maxim Dadashev died due to injuries suffered in a bout that took place last Friday.
Nurmagomedov, reflecting on the passing of Dadashev, revealed on Instagram that he is starting to hate combat sports:
Here is a translation of what Nurmagomedov wrote, provided by Google Translate:
“This case proves once again that sport is not the most important thing, there are things that are much more important. Every time I see or hear such news, I begin to hate this sport in which we beat each other. Everything is temporary, fame, money, titles, and our whole life, we all leave this world, no one will remain. It is worth thinking. Patience to all relatives and friends of Maxim. Do good and may the Most High reward us for our deeds and deeds in the next life, and forgive us our sins.”
UFC 242 takes place on Saturday, September 7 from the Du Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
