Yes his father is Ukrainian roots wasnt a problem until the last 10 years. But Ukranians Generally hate russians a lot especially western Ukraine, it has nothing to do with religion these days. 90% of Russians and Ukrainians are agnostic or atheist, and if khabib was a Christian it would not matter shit because Russians dont like Georgians or Armenias even though they are Christians it’s different culture different languages they never considered you one of your ownMixed reaction from what I've seen. Most of Khabib's love comes from Muslims - not Russians. I'd even go as far as to say Russia was cheering on Conor more than Khabib for their fight. Russia seems very regional as far as to who they root for. I've even seen some Russians not root for Fedor since his roots are Ukrainian.
Terror that the FSB did and blamed on the Chechens. Russians have no place to whine about chechens and Dagestanis, they’ve taken their land, wtf do you expect them to do? lol."Aslan Maskhadov's government was unable to rebuild the region or to prevent a number of warlords from taking effective control. The relationship between the government and radicals deteriorated. In March 1999, Maskhadov closed down the Chechen parliament and introduced aspects of Sharia law. Despite this concession, extremists such as Shamil Basayev and the Saudi-born Islamist Ibn Al-Khattab continued to undermine the Maskhadov government. In April 1998, the group publicly declared that its long-term aim was the creation of a union of Chechnya and Dagestan under Islamic rule and the expulsion of Russians from the entire Caucasian Region."
I'm not gonna teach you history or discuss if this shit was right or wrong because I literally couldn't care less about russian politics bruh. I was just telling it how it is, I didn't judge any faction.
I just said lots of Russians hate Chechens/Dagestanis because of terror attacks and the war. No judgement intended. It's probably the same vice-versa.

Nobody outside the MMA world knows him. People gotta understand that Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and in a lesser level Lebron James are the so called "biggest athetes". Khabin Nurmagomedov wouldnt be known by 70-75% of the people you ask about.Khabib is bigger than MMA tho lol.. dude is one of the biggest athlete in the world and when ever everyone sees him and listen to his accent they say 'wow these russian guys are tough mothafuckers' when in reality its the dagestanis that are tough lol..
Lmao never understood this.If you hate them, why doing everything to keep them under Russian state lmao?
High lvl hypocrisy here, legit start wars to not let them be independent, but hate them and don't want them at the same time.
Russia wanted them, now they deal with it.
Reminds me of corsica and France.
Not really, there was a lot of ethnic tensions in Russia in the 90s and 2000s, mostly against Chechens though, but it was against all Caucasians
stupid question its like saying how is mike tyson viewed in america
iirc when Khabib fought Conor it was kinda split now that Khabib is a dominant “Russian” Champ Im sure they'll jump on his bandwagon now.Not that it is proof that he is respected by Slavic Russians, but a friend of mine who is 2nd generation Russian American posted on her Facebook how happy she and her family were that Khabib won.
Lmao never understood this.
They literally fought wars for independence for centuries. But the Russians insisted they stay. Its not like there's oil or anything there. I understand in the past it was the gateway to the middle east/ottoman, so useful militarily. But that's irrelevant nowadays.
These ruskies cant complain. They obviously loved the Caucasus lot so much they were willing to give their lives to keep them.
For Russians who remember 90s Caucasus is linked to terrorism, insurgencies and organized crime. Caucasus is also one of the most depressed regions of Russia with high unemployment and poverty rate. People from Caucasus are widely thought to have archaic herd mentality, be agressive and short tempered, while also being sneaky and back-stabbing.
Lol more fake news. That image is totally fake. And yes, you are a racist pos. Ive seen enough of your posts to be sureI don't think they really differentiate. Just like here some people can't differentiate between moderate Muslims from Iran or fundamentalists from Afghanistan.
Tough topic, haven't got that much insight into the russian perspective but I'm sure most of the hate going towards Chechnya and Dagestan turned into plain and undifferentiated hate for Muslims because of those terror acts and wars.
And yeah, I actually agree with you there. I have a hilarious statistic from Korea. Check this out:
21,2% of koreans voted for "Attack Japan" with no apparent reason LMAO.
True, yet they get their shit pushed in 1vs 1 against caucasus people, they fear chechen and dagestani and either gang up on them, police intervenes or they get cucked just like in the video
I always thought that too, Khabib could pass as EuropeanDon't agree, his father clearly looks arab or even turkish. Khabib's looks tend more towards white russian in comparison, making me believe his mother is part russian atleast.
The majority of Dagestanis/Chechens could pass in southeastern Europe if they changed their hairstyle. That doesn't mean they have Russian blood.I always thought that too, Khabib could pass as European

We definitely don't see him as one of our own. And he doesn't see himself as such hence his refusal to carry the flag. He is mostly popular with people from Caucasus and immigrants from ex-Soviet Central Asia. Hardcore Russian MMA fans often don't like him for being hypocritical and thuggish. They also tend to consider Gaethje fight fixed.
Source on Khabib's uncles marrying Ukrainian women? That's pretty interesting, might explain why Khabib's cousin Muhammad with the Ukraine jacket looks like Alex Ovechkin, is he half Ukrainian?Many of them do. Both of Khabib's uncles married to Ukrainian women.
During Soviet days intermarriage was common, because religion didn't play an important role.
