Now, I used to assume that Khabib Nurmagomedov was the biggest Russian fighter out there, but people used to point out the fact that Khabib is from Dagestan, and there seems to be a bit of a, what would be the right term, bit of an alienation against people who's from such area and not necessarily considered one of their own, unlike Fedor for example.
Lobov on the other hand is a journeyman type fighter, but depending on a country, being able to make to UFC in and out of itself can be considered a huge accomplishment, and Lobov does come to fight always, just like Khabib does in a different sense.
Conor, well...Conor is just super famous overall, and from the sound of things, he's popular everywhere, including Russia, perhaps not so much in Dagestan after this though.
So, any Russian sherdoggers here, who's more popular in Russia, Lobov, Khabib, or Conor? I mean Khabib at times posts how packed the area is when he's at an event, but I don't really think we've seen one in like main cities of Russia.
