Eagles Sports Management CEO Magomed Magomedov told how the former champion UFC and owner of the company Khabib Nurmagomedov recommended management PSG sign the Russian midfielder Denis Makarovwhen he was still playing for Rubin.

Khabib loves football more MMA? You can ask him, he has talked about it many times. He truly loves football more than any other sport. Even now, in a difficult training camp in Dubai, we have found time for football in such a schedule, when a very important battle of your pupil and friend is in a week’s time.

A year ago, we gathered half of the Russian team and played football in Dubai. Jikia has said more than once that the guys ran at a different level. When he is on the team he charges the players so much that it is impossible not to play for him.

Last year there was a match between Rubin and Zenit, and Khabib liked Makarov’s game so much that after Denis’s goal he called the president PSG and said: “Look at that young Di Maria.” Khabib is worried about our boys, he loves football very much. And I introduced them to Makarov a couple of months after that story.
