"I deserve some respect too" - Khabib Nurmagomedov calls out fans refusing to settle down at live Q&A session
Khabib Nurmagomedov took exception to fans being too rowdy during a recent live Q&A session.
'The Eagle' has been a busy man during his recent trip to the United Kingdom, from watching numerous football matches to having a great interaction with Georges St-Pierre and beyond. Many fans have come out in numbers to see Khabib Nurmagomedov and hear the man give out some words of wisdom as he continues to enjoy retirement.
However, during an appearance in Harrogate, things started to take a turn. Those in the audience weren’t listening to the request of Khabib and the presenter for them to sit down. Before it got too out of control, though, Nurmagomedov took the mic and signed off the show in style.
"Let me talk. Guys, I come from other part of world here to see you guys and you know, I think I deserve some respect too. Thank you. Around the world I have big, big support from my people who have same views like I have and I really believe here we have same views and please, take care of your kids. This is our future. This is most important. Thank you guys.”
