Khabib, hero in Russia?

[TheWave111]

Off course Khabib is the hero of Russia.
Nobody heard of Russia untill Khabib.

 

[TheWave111]

It’s more about how Russian people see him - a foreigner representing a different (and even hostile) culture and nation.

You went there and did a survey and interviewed the entire population right.

MMA fighter are both artists and scientists.

They're also philosophers and warriors to an extent. It all makes sense now...

Khabibi is in talks of possibly being awarded one of Russia's highest awards in "Hero of Russia."

While being respected by some Russian athletes, most agree that him getting that award is nuts, he is no hero and ask what he has done besides fight for prize money? He is a great and ballsy fighter, but after looking at said list of past recipients I have to agree that Khabib shouldn't sniff this award.

Good for him.

That's a little....ridiculous?

24% of Russian adults tuned in for the fight of Khabib vs Poirier.
26 millions views.

Exaggeration is a method to make a point.

Btw, Hero of Russian Federation is not just one of the highest awards; it is THE highest award, full stop. It’s like being knighted in the UK or something like that.

That’s why this proposal is seen as pretty controversial in Russia.

Russia is retarded. Putin appointed Judo buddies in all kinds of positions. They are more ridiculous than us.
Banger Lives Matter over there.

Well no shit, every Muslim and MMA/combat sports fan tuned in. What’s your point?

Let me guess. An American. Calling other people "retarded" without realizing his ironic that is.

In France we have freaking singers and saudis being awarded the 'legion d'honneur' which I guess would be the equivalent of this Russian award Khabib's achievements seems to be far more rewardable than the honorary holders of the 'legion' I just mentioned in the begining of my post.

Yeah, personally I don’t care if he gets awarded or not. The award already had it’s credibility damaged back in 2004 anyways.

I don't know what "his ironic" is. I'm not comparing Americans to French or Dutch people. I'm comparing them to Russians.

That's called a typographical error.
You compared yourself to Russians and decided that all Russians are "retarded"?

Singers and athletes get knighted in the UK. Sir Elton John. Sir Sean Connery.

But it's still considered prestigious.

His dad is an mma pioneer in the caucaus and had plans to open up many schools which they still intend on doing. They're opening up a free martial arts gym for kids in the uk as well.

Yes. The majority of Russia is like the worst parts of America.

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

There's nowhere on the planet that has the level of stupidity of the worst parts of the United States.

You calling Russians, as a collective, "retarded", is pretty silly.
