Hasbulla Magomedov and his antagonists.
In the memoir of Hasbulla Magomedov, the protagonist remains the Russian himself. This doesn’t mean he is disrespectful of his superiors or other renowned and celebrated figures. The aura he transcends is second to none, and he carries himself as such.
Although there is a long list of opponents lying in wait for Magomedov, including Henry Cejudo and Francis Ngannou, the post makes it transparent that Magomedov will not be gracing the octagon.
