Khabib Nurmagomedov, the retired undefeated UFC lightweight champion, is widely regarded as one of the most respectful and humble fighters in the history of MMA. As a devout Muslim, Nurmagomedov is known for cherishing Islamic customs and traditions close to his heart.
The fans learned about Nurmagomedov from Will Harris’ documentary, “The Dagestan Chronicles”. The documentary showcased the lives of the people of Dagestan, which were unknown to western MMA fans. Harris himself provided a detailed explanation of his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience.
Who are Khabib Nurmagomedov’s children?
“The Eagle” from Dagestan holds his family very dear to him. His father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov was his coach. Moreover, after the death of his father, he promised his mother that he would be retiring from MMA and he has kept true to his word.
He was involved in coaching his fellow fighters from Dagestan and was always in their corner. However, citing his need for the growth of his family, Nurmagomedov has also retired from cornering duties. He is actively involved with training in Dagestan even if not cornering fighters.
