Seen through the lens of the impact it has on the masses that are absorbed into the entertainment industry, it becomes one of the greatest platforms for influence, and Khabib’s importance in terms of potential reach and influence becomes evident. In this time when the US might rescind Khabib’s visa, or withholds his pay for his unquestioned victory over McGregor; if a Western entertainment industry is going to penalise and exclude him, on a double standard, with iniquity, because he is a Muslim, as Muslims we should support him. While it may be lamented that McGregor was arguably the poster boy of the sport and that UFC need men like Conor, I believe the Ummah needs more Muslims like Khabib.
