Rasul Mirzaev i believe was with Artem Lobov and then was almost killed by some Dagestanis.
UFC's Artem Lobov gives details on fellow Russian fighter's assassination attempt
Karim Zidan spoke to Artem Lobov, who explained how an argument about Khabib vs. McGregor led to a fellow Russian fighter’s assault.
Following a late meal at a restaurant, Bagautinov, Lobov and Mirzaev proceeded towards the ‘Garage’ nightclub where their group expanded significantly. According to the report, drunk Dagestanis aware of Lobov’s friendship with Conor McGregor approached him and began to complain about the Irishman’s lack of interest in a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov. While the discussion died down relatively quickly, a fight broke out between Mirzaev and the Dagestanis who confronted Lobov. While security eventually intervened, the wheels had already been set in motion. Within a matter of days, Mirzaev was beaten within an inch of his life in his own apartment.
