Recently, Nurmagomedov was a special guest of honor at the Future Innovation Summit. During the event, he was asked about how he envisions creative society.
He said, “I think our kids gonna have problems… Myself, for example, when I grew up, I grew up without phones. Of course, we have a great future too with phones, with all this stuff with technology and we create a lot of stuff too. But we can lose our kids too. We have to be careful with technology and young generation.”
“When people are like 25-30, they understand what’s bad, what’s good. When young guys like 12-15 years old guys, they don’t understand everything. That’s why I think we need to take care of our kids because kids is the future. Why do we work so hard? We work so hard for the young generation, for our kids. We have to invest to our kids. This is what I think,” he added.
Nurmagomedov is already doing something for the younger generation, with footballing icon Clarence Seedorf.
