Khabib Nurmagomedov is undeniably a large success in blended martial arts (MMA), however it has by no means felt just like the retired UFC champion notably loved combating.
Within the cage, “The Eagle” was extremely dominant, hardly dropping a spherical as he climbed the ranks, captured the Light-weight belt, and defended his crown 3 times. He retired on prime and rapidly transitioned to a training position, instantly discovering success in taking up his father’s position as crew patriarch. The Nurmagomedov combat crew rapidly started choosing up world titles, together with Islam Makhachev primarily inheriting Khabib’s former throne.
Even in teaching, nevertheless, Nurmagomedov has been visibly burdened on a couple of event whereas watching his athletes from afar or within the nook. At one level, he even tried to stroll away from the game fully, although it didn’t stick. When it was introduced that his crew mates Makhachev and Umar Nurmagomedov can be competing back-to-back for UFC titles, Khabib wasn’t precisely thrilled in regards to the alternative.
Talking with Demetrious Johnson lately, Nurmagomedov confessed that whereas he doesn’t take pleasure in teaching or the stress concerned, he feels an obligation to help.
“I don’t like [coaching] however I’ve to be right here,” Khabib defined (through House of Combat). “It’s gonna be a really massive evening for us on UFC 311, with Tagir [Ulanbekov], Umar for the title and Islam defends his belt. I can’t be residence, I’ve to be right here, however I don’t like this.”
Prefer it or not, Nurmagomedov is dedicated to his nook work. If he can coach this technology of champions a bit longer, maybe another person can take over when their very own time on the prime is over?
