Athletistic/MMA. Russian UFC fighter Sharabutdin Magomedov has explained why he did not enter the fight in Saudi Arabia with his country’s flag.

At a tournament in Riyadh, where the athlete nicknamed Shara Bullet eliminated Antonio Trocoli, he commented on the lack of a flag:

— Under the video titled “Shara took out the Russian flag and dropped it”, there is a comment “Don’t flatter yourself, it was the coach who carried the flag, not Shara”. Why didn’t you carry the flag yourself?

— Carrying a flag is also a responsibility. I didn’t want to hold anything in my hands on the way out. I preferred to walk relaxed and not think about accidentally dropping the flag. I had my hands full and didn’t want to look stupid. My coach carried the flag behind me and it was visible all over the screen. Where else could you hang the flag – on your face, or what?

  • McGregor responded to those who doubted the seriousness of his injury
