A while ago, Hotak and Mubarez got engaged in some sort of quarrel, and both challenged each other for an MMA match, but later mediationt between the two calmed things down. He has once again underlined that he has no personal differences with Hotak.
In his message, Mubarez has stressed that despite internal differences, Afghans are united against outsiders.
