“After my fight [with Poirier], I didn’t even know how many people followed me, how many followed her, that there was some kind of competition.
“But it’s always nice when you are first. It doesn’t matter if it’s Instagram, in fights, in business. I think men will understand me, and women as well. If I’m not mistaken, I think women aim to be first even more than men,” the fighter said.
The pair’s unlikely rivalry also came into focus in a list published by Forbes this year, in which Khabib was named Russia’s ‘most successful person’ under the age of 40 – also beating Buzova into second place.
Definitely an unlikely rivalry.
