UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov Tours Morocco, May Meet King Mohammed VI
The Russian champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Khabib Nurmagomedov is playing the "tourist" in Morocco. Photos and videos are already leaking on the Instagram account of the Moroccan boxer Abu Zaitar, welcoming the conqueror of Conor McGregor.
According to the athlete’s agent Ali Abdelaziz, Khabib is expected to meet King Mohammed VI. "Khabib is a global superstar... He has seen the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi, he has seen Erdogan, he is seeing the President of Kurdistan today, he will probably see the King of Morocco next week... The office of the Egyptian President has also contacted us," he had said a few months ago to TMZ Sports.
During his tour of the Arab countries, Khabib was able to meet several politicians and world leaders, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and could do the same with the Moroccan sovereign.
Note that the champion has recently been to Jordan and Palestine where he visited the Al Quds Mosque.
