The former UFC fighter, who is Muslim, gave the hand of the Streamer Ishowspeed, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Thierry Henry. When Scott took out his hand, Nurmagomedov kept his hand on his chest.
“I apologize, thank you very much,” Scott said by moving his hand and putting it on his chest.
Nurmagomedov is likely to follow his religious beliefs in not shaking his hand with Scott. The undefeated UFC fighter is a devout follower of Islam. Religion instructs men who do not shake hands with a woman with whom they are not married.
