UFC Legend Criticizes Khabib's Ring Girl Comments: Let Them Work!

JAKARTA - UFC legend Michael Bispin doesn't like Khabib Nurmagomedov's words about ring girls. He said the Russian retired UFC should "let the girls have jobs."

Last week, Khabib called ring girls "the most useless people in martial arts."

He added: "What does it do? "Are they co-developing the sport? Did they help people to know that it's now the second round?"

"I'm a big fan of Khabib. But come on! Let the girls have jobs. They make a lot of money with sponsorship and support," Bisping said as quoted by the Daily Star.

Earlier, ring girl Sara Beverley Jones, who worked in the Anthony Joshua fight, said Khabib should correct his words.

"Khabib commented on ring girls in MMA and called them useless and a distraction in a fight," Sara said.

It seemed strange to me because ring girls would only enter the arena at intervals, so they didn't become a nuisance in a match."
