Abdulrashid himself was eager to fight and wanted to continue fighting. The president of the Russian Wrestling Federation, Mikhail Mamiashvili, supported the coaches’ decision. He said we need to take care of ourselves and not make the situation worse. This is a serious and dangerous injury, you need to seek treatment,” Magomedov told .
