Apart from being a top contender in the UFC's lightweight division, Khabib Nurmagomedov is also a devout Muslim. So much so that he refuses to compete professionally during the holy month of Ramadan.
According to a recent interview with riakchr.ru, Khabib was initially offered a fight at the landmark UFC 200 show in Las Vegas but rejected the offer when he realized it conflicts with Ramadan and the Eid holiday that followed.
"I could not take part in the anniversary tournament. When the UFC asked me, I realized it was that June UFC 200 is between Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. We will probably watch it on TV." Cont.
