@trtworld: "Many, many sponsors, they don't want to work with some athletes who support Palestine ... But money compared to lives is nothing" Speaking at an event hosted by Miftaah Institute in New Jersey on August 8, Khabib Nurmagomedov said he, Islam Makhachev and Usman Nurmagomedov lost lucrative sponsorship contracts because of their support for Palestine. He told the audience that money means little compared with the lives that have been lost, adding that the cancellations happened simply for speaking out.
