Rustam Khabilov, one:

YouTube video

Rustam Khabilov, two: Statement from the management of Legion Sports Club The management of Legion Sports Club is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident involving the club’s fighter, Rustam Khabilov, which is being actively discussed online. First of all, the club’s management apologizes to the young woman who was insulted by Rustam’s actions, as well as to the entire online community. But we should be objective: the actions of one of the club’s fighters do not necessarily represent the position of the club itself. Having watched this video, Rustam’s teammates condemn his behavior. But let’s not pile all the blame on Khabilov. It is not certain that Rustam’s humiliating hand gesture, allegedly directed at the girls, was in fact meant that way. It could have been a gesture aimed at someone sitting at the same table with him, and all this uproar may be nothing more than someone’s personal vendetta against Rustam, one that has fueled nationalist attacks not only against the fighter himself, but against all athletes from the Caucasus region. In any case, the management of Legion Sports Club will later provide an objective assessment of what happened and asks everyone not to be overly categorical in judging what is seen in this video. Rustam Khabilov will provide his explanation of this act later. Rustam Khabilov, three: The management of Legion Sports Club informs you that as of June 7, 2010, the contract with the club’s fighter Rustam Khabilov has been terminated. The contract was terminated by mutual agreement. P.S. I have no idea whether the "McDonald’s incident" was the reason for the contract termination.
