Mixed martial arts coach Javier Mendez on his YouTube channel jibber with jaber Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Islam Makhachev talked about how he was affected by Khabib Nurmagomedov’s decision to leave the MMA industry, the former holder of the promotional belt.
“It seems to me that Islam was not easy. After all, he was used to having Khabib always there. Previously, Khabib was cornered when he wasn’t fighting Islam on the same card. “It was probably a big shock at the core of Islam,” Mendes said.
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.
