Nurmagomedov quickly responded to the question and silenced the journalist with his answer. He said, “When was the last time I went to a nightclub on a Friday? We associate Friday with something else, with the mosque, not nightclubs. I don’t go to clubs.”
“And the rest day, my friends always blame me for not having any rest. Not so long ago, my cousin Usman was planning to go on vacation. But I talked to him and he realized it was too early for him to rest.”
