UFC News: Ring girl covers herself up for Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the UFC’s rankings, and has dominated each and every opponent he has stepped inside of the Octagon with in his entire career, as the Russian is undefeated with 24 straight wins.
If there is one thing Nurmagomedov takes more seriously than fighting, however, it’s his religion.
He has made his dedication to his religion clear on several occasions, dedicating his victories to God and also reaffirming his stance on Twitter on the same. Khabib had even once gotten involved in an argument with Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh over a religious joke that Kavanagh had made:
@John_Kavanagh @arielhelwani you can't joking about religion, be careful. #thisisnotshow— khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) April 19, 2016
‘The Eagle’ was recently in attendance for an OFS promotion event, in which one of the ring girls, Anna Galochkina, covered herself up in order to make the lightweight feel more comfortable. Here’s what she had to say about the incident:
“He’s not only the best athlete but the man for me! He’s a pride of Russia and 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.”
Nurmagomedov is currently seeking his first lightweight title opportunity of his impressive mixed martial arts (MMA) career, as he has dominated the likes of fellow 155’ers such as Michael Johnson and former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos.

The sensational grappler has tossed around everyone who has stepped into the Octagon against him and is considered by many to be the uncrowned king of the UFC’s lightweight division.
Here’s a picture of the ring girl covering herself up in Khabib’s presence:
A match-up between ‘The Eagle’ and fellow top lightweight prospect Tony ‘El Cucuy’ Ferguson has been rumoured to be in the works for UFC 209, with the stipulation of an interim lightweight title being on the line given the fact that current division champ Conor McGregor is slated to take some time off from the sport.
If that bout is, in fact, close to being finalised, it should be quite the treat for MMA fans to enjoy.
