Nurmagomedov later referred to this as “no great loss.”
In February 2019, Nurmagomedov took aim at a play titled Hunting for Men, which featured a now-infamous scene with a woman seducing a man while dressed in lingerie. The UFC champion criticized the scene as “filth” and demanded that those behind the play be held responsible. Nurmagomedov’s comments stoked outrage within his native republic, gained traction among local politicians, fellow athletes, and caused the play’s producer to receive alleged threats on social media.
