Sukhrab Magomedov, coach of Russian UFC fighter Magomed Ankalaev, in an exclusive interview with Telecom Asia Sport commented on the reaction of Dana White, who criticized the Russian fighter for his passivity in the fight with Jan Blachowicz.
Dana is a businessman. He wants action, maybe he didn't get something. Maybe he was disappointed in Magomed as a showman, I don't know. Now professional sports is only half actual sports, the other half is performance. He wanted more of a show from Magomed. How can we know what's in another person's head?
