On Tuesday, Khabib Nurmagomedov posted a picture on his Instagram account of a woman in lingerie seducing a man on stage during a play. The UFC champion criticized the play as “filth” and demanded to know why it was being shown Dagestan. Nurmagomedov’s comments stoked outrage within his native republic and eventually led to the play’s producer being threatened on social media.
The play — titled Hunting for Men — is billed as an action comedy about a woman in search of new pleasures after her husband begins to lose interest in her. While none of the scenes featured nudity, one of the main characters does appear in lingerie during a portion of the play.
