    Did the Saudi investments precede the dominance of the Dagestani fighters? Because I had never heard of MMA (or anyone in Denmark giving a shit about MMA) prior to the big title fight between Connor McGregor and Khabib. And Khabib was obviously such a great front figure that every fucking mosque here was talking about the fight after he won against McGregor, simply because Khabib was both likeable, cool and genuinely very religious.
