A few days ago, Khabib Nurmagomedov hinted at his return to sports this summer on his social networks.
Nurmagomedov spent 29 fights in MMA, each of which he won. He spent his last fight defeating American Justin Gaethje in the fall of 2020. Immediately after the fight, he announced the end of his professional career, announcing to his mother that he had promised not to fight without his father. Khabib’s father and coach, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, died in the summer of 2020 from complications caused by a coronavirus infection.
After his retirement, Nurmagomedov founded the Eagle FC promotion. The EFC held its first US event on January 28, 2022.
As a result of a poll conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation in 2021, Khabib Nurmagomedov was named person of the year in sports. In March 2022, Rus was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
Formerly Kamil Hajiyev Khabib says Nurmagomedov can connect his life to football.
