THE FIGHT OF KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV AND ARTEM LOBOV BACKSTAGE! ANALYSIS! Let's estimate, it all started with the words of Lobov. Was he right to say so?

Then Khabib would come up and ask - Am I afraid? Lobov would say yes. There would be an argument, but not a fight. It's probably just that. Did Khabib approach him correctly? I think it's right.
