Childhood and youth
Khabib was born on September 20, 1988 in a traditional Avar family from the small Dagestan mountain village of Sildi. Almost all local men were hereditary wrestlers, and Khabib's relatives were no exception. His father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov is a master of sports in freestyle wrestling, his father's brother is a world champion in sambo in 1992, and his maternal uncle is a titled freestyle wrestler. 
It is not surprising that both Khabib and his younger brother Abubakar followed in the footsteps of eminent relatives and early years engrossed in wrestling. Their first coach was their father, who almost from the cradle prepared his sons for the fighting ring. From the age of three, Khabib began to master the elementary wrestling elements, and at the age of five he already entered the carpet.
When the boy was ten, the family moved to Makhachkala. There, the father had the opportunity to recruit his own group of young talented athletes, including Khabib.
Until the age of fifteen, he did not differ much from other boys: he went to school, regularly attended training, often fought with the yard guys. At some point, Khabib wanted to get a job as a security guard to earn money, but the whole family was against it.
Sport, his father said, is also work, and hard work, and a professional athlete should not think about how to earn a living, otherwise he will never reach the top.
Getting older and stronger, the guy began to stand out from his rivals, and the father-coach realized that his eldest son is a unique nugget who can make the whole world talk about himself. If before that Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov relied more on judo and saw his son as a future champion on the tatami, then he realized that Khabib was a potential leader in mixed martial arts. In addition, the guy himself gravitated more towards combat sambo. 
His idols were also sambists - Fedor Emelianenko, Rustam Khabilov, Rustam Mukhtarov, whose skill he never ceases to admire until now. A talented fighter was able to learn something from each of them, and thanks to the efforts of his father, who gave him excellent initial training and inspired self-confidence, sports career Khabiba confidently rushed up.
Sports achievements and fights
At 23, Nurmagomedov became the youngest Russian fighter in UFC history. The Americans immediately appreciated Khabib's skill and invited a promising athlete to their organization. From that moment on, the worthy son of the Avar people, nicknamed "Eagle", held many fights in the main rings of the world, each of which ended in his triumph. The shepherd's hat became the symbol of the fighter - this is how he expresses pride in his people and devotion to the traditions of the Avars. 
The strongest opponents, such as Gleyson Tibau (July 2012), Kamal Shalorus (January 2012), Thiago Tavares (January 2013), Khabib was able to confidently knock out and defeat with his "signature" choke.
Fight Khabib Nurmagomedov and Gleison Tibau
The years 2014-15 were not easy for the athlete: he received several complex injuries and was out of action, although he retained his undefeated status. In 2016, he triumphantly returned to the ring, confidently defeating Darrell Horcher.
Fight with Michael Johnson finally confirmed high level preparation of the Russian wrestler: the American underestimated the opponent and was defeated in the third round. The referee was forced to stop the fight, as Khabib used a painful hold - Johnson could not even ask to stop the fight.
The fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson was broken several times. They were supposed to meet in the ring in the summer of 2014, but the plans were thwarted by the injury of the Russian. In April 2016, the meeting did not take place due to Ferguson's injury. The fight was postponed to March 2017 - and again a failure: before weighing, Habib was hospitalized with suspected kidney stones.
A lot of hype has risen around the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, the cocky Irishman, nicknamed "unreal". Immediately after the victory over Michael Johnson, not yet leaving the ring, Nurmagomedov challenged him to a duel, calling him an "Irish chicken." McGregor did not practice trash talk, but hinted that Nurmagomedov still had to earn a fight with him. However, in the summer of 2017, he changed his mind. In full preparation for the fight against boxer Floyd Mayweather (and according to the rules of boxing), he nevertheless expressed his desire with the offender in Russia. Khabib later said in an interview that the likelihood of their meeting in December 2017 is very high.
However, on December 30, 2017, Nurmagomedov met in the ring not with McGregor, but with Edson Barboza, a wrestler from Rio de Janeiro. Father Russian athlete noted that Barbosa is a great drummer, but by the second round "everything will fall into place." And so it happened, and Khabib's advantage was obvious already in the first round. In the third round, the Brazilian, who bravely stood to the end, fell, and Nurmagomedov was credited with the 9th victory in the UFC and the 25th in his entire sports career.

The fight with McGregor, which nevertheless took place on October 6, 2018, ended with the victory of the Dagestan. In the first round, the advantage was with Khabib, who used a signature fighting grip. The Irishman lay on the floor for almost all 5 minutes. The second round was also led by Nurmagomedov. In the third round, the fighters met in a standing position, McGregor delivered several blows to the opponent, but it was clear that he was exhausted.
The fourth round was the final: Khabib applied a choke, and Conor gave up.
But the fight didn't end there. Without waiting for the verdict of the judges, Nurmagomedov left the octagon and rushed into the hall. There was a skirmish with Dillon Danis, the jiu-jitsu coach from McGregor's team. At this time, two people from the Dagestan team attacked Conor. The police rushed to the ring. Nurmagomedov's victory was credited, but three of his comrades were taken to the police. The Irishman did not write a statement against them; he later tweeted that he wanted a rematch. 
April 7, 2018 Khabib was supposed to finally meet in the ring with Tony Ferguson, but the fight was canceled again. This time, through the fault of Tony, he was injured. The fact that instead of Ferguson, Al Iaquinta would enter the ring against him, Nurmagomedov found out the day before the fight. The fight ended with the victory of Nurmagomedov (although Al survived all 5 rounds, and Khabib failed to finish the fight ahead of schedule) and the athlete was awarded the lightweight champion belt. Thus he became the first Russian MMA fighter who won the UFC title.
Personal life of Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib professes Islam, does not drink, does not smoke, regularly makes a pilgrimage to Mecca with his brother and strictly observes all the basic commandments of the Koran, including not fighting during Ramadan.Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov (Avar. XIabib Nurmukhlamadov). Born on September 20, 1988 in Sildi, Tsumadinsky district of Dagestan. Russian mixed style fighter. Nickname: The Eagle UFC Lightweight Champion.
Khabib Nurmagomedov was born on September 20, 1988 in the small village of Sildi in the Tsumadinsky district of Dagestan.
By nationality - Avar.
He comes from a family of hereditary wrestlers. His father - Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov - was the champion of Ukraine in freestyle wrestling and sambo. Father's brother - Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov - world champion in sports sambo 1992. And his maternal uncle is a master of sports in freestyle wrestling.
Father is not only a wrestler, but also a freestyle wrestling coach. It was his father who became the first coach of Habib, under whose guidance he was engaged in martial arts from the age of 5.
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on the mat all the time,” the fighter recalled.
He has a brother, Abubakar, who is 1.5 years younger. They trained together (Abubakar also became a professional fighter, competes in the WSOF).
In 2001, the family moved to Makhachkala. There he continued training. “Father brought us all together, about 15 relatives in Makhachkala. And we lived for seven or eight years, all under the same roof. We ate together, trained together and grew up as worthy guys,” the athlete said.
Somehow Khabib came across a tape with fights without rules and he himself wanted to try himself in something new, namely, in martial arts related to percussion technique, although he continued to engage in freestyle wrestling. By that time, my father had already changed the type of martial arts and taught the guys combat sambo. "I also wanted to, but he said that you first need to learn how to wrestle in a jacket and sent me to his friend, the honored coach of Russia in judo Jafar Jafarov. I trained with him for a year and a half, and in 2005 I already switched to combat sambo," Khabib said.
For two years he studied with Jafar Jafarov, Honored Coach of Russia. After that, he began training in combat sambo, he was again trained by his father.

One of Khabib's role models was the great Russian fighter.
Nurmagomedov said: “Only when I started doing combat sambo, he was the number one athlete in all sports. His behavior, character has always been an example. He behaved the same way when he won and when he lost. I try to take an example from him in this "Fedor Emelianenko is the man who gave impetus to our sport in Russia. I never heard anything bad said about him. I grew up on his fights. I watched him bring down, knock out, finish off. I always admired him as a fighter and as a person."
The fact that Khabib eventually became a professional fighter is a great merit of his father, not only as a coach, but also as a mentor in choosing life path. As Khabib admitted, at the age of 19-20 he was going to leave the sport and get a job in a security agency. "But my father told me:" If you work somewhere, then you are no longer an athlete. So you have another job. But if you are an athlete, you have to live it. You have to get up early and go to train. Come home, eat and sleep And everything you need, I will give you. You only need money for water and travel. And we have food at home, "he recalled.
And Khabib continued to train hard, completely surrendering to martial arts. And the results were not long in coming.
On January 21, 2012, Khabib had his first fight under the auspices of the American UFC promotion. The fight ended with his victory over Kamal Shalorus - in the 3rd round, Khabib performed a choke that forced Kamal to surrender. The Americans immediately noted the very high level of Nurmagomedov's wrestling training.
“I was 23 then, and many said that the UFC was too high a level, and I was too young. But it only inflamed me, motivated me. I could not wait for me to enter the cage and show what I was capable of,” he recalled his debut in the UFC.
On July 7, 2012, Khabib fought his second fight under the auspices of the American UFC promotion against one of the best Brazilian lightweights Gleison Tibau, one of the TOP 15 best lightweight fighters in the world at UFC 148 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Throughout all three rounds, the Russian dominated and won by unanimous decision.
On January 19, 2013, the fighter met with another famous Brazilian lightweight Thiago Tavares in Brazil in the city of Sao Paulo at a grand UFC tournament on FX 7. On the main card of the tournament, he knocked down the Brazilian with an uppercut, after which he finished him in the ground with elbows at 1:55 of the first round. He also stated that he wants to fight one of the best fighters on the planet, Nate Diaz, on April 20 at UFC on FOX 7 in San Jose, California.
November 12, 2016 at UFC 205 in New York, armlock (kimura). Throughout the fight, Khabib dominated Michael and as a result, in the third round, the judge stopped the fight, as the opponent could not even knock on the floor, being in a clamped position due to a painful hold.
Before this fight, after weighing in, Khabib got into an argument with Irish fighter Conor McGregor, who also held his title fight there. The guards did not let the verbal skirmish turn into a brawl.

In January 2017, it was announced that on March 4, as part of the UFC 209 show in Las Vegas (USA). The winner of the fight will become the main contender for the lightweight title, in which the Irishman Conor McGregor performs.
“On March 4, I will do everything to make my dream come true, and finally I will fight for the belt and win it,” Nurmagomedov commented on the news of the fight with Ferguson.
A huge part of Nurmagomedov's fans are children and their parents who consider Khabib a role model. “If a person promotes sports, constantly tells people to do the right thing, I think this person should be emulated. Khabib presents himself as a very modest, decent guy. I would say that he has religion in the first place, since he preaches Islam. He constantly presents it from the right side, tells how to act. Such a person will be popular in any way, "said the fighter's father.

Personal life of Khabib Nurmagomedov:
Married. Since Khabib strictly adheres to Muslim customs, he does not talk about his personal life. Also, he does not give details about his wife. Doesn't even show her face. So, in the photo from Khabib's wedding, his chosen one is hidden under a veil.
During a long stay abroad (Khabib trains in the USA), he leaves his wife at home. "She will interfere with my preparation. It will be possible to go on vacation somehow. But during the preparation period, for example, women or clubs interfere. You should not think about anything else if you want to achieve something. You should only train, sleep and eat. There should be a regime in everything, and the wife will wait at home and pray for me, "he explained.
Islam plays a big role in the life of Khabib Nurmagomedov. He strictly adheres to all the rules laid down for a devout Muslim.
"I never smoked or drank. Not because I'm an athlete and lead healthy lifestyle life. Because my religion forbids it. I am a Muslim and Islam forbids drinking, smoking, going to nightclubs. And in battles, religion helps me, especially psychologically. Only she can balance me. Both defeat and victory are given only by the Almighty. And I will also rejoice in defeat. I am always calm. Maybe this is the key to success, that I always hope for the Almighty, and I am ready for any outcome," the athlete pointed out.
As Khabib said, sports and the high results achieved have changed his life principles.
“I fought a lot on the street, my father always punished me for this, scolded me not to do it again. But I stopped fighting only when I became world champion in 2010. There were moments when the fight was already very close. At such moments I remember that a couple of years ago I would have dragged him in, but, realizing that I am a professional, I restrain myself. Because I can hit so that a person will have a serious injury. Why do I need this? ", - he said.
“If you are an athlete, you train and live by it, you can easily hurt a passerby. But you are an athlete, you must be careful about this. I have had many skirmishes in my life. And when I saw that a person is much weaker, I tried to avoid fights. And now I don’t go to places where this can happen at all. I sit at home, and nothing will definitely happen to me there. And an athlete should not show anyone that he can knock out or kill someone. I don’t support this . A professional athlete is a melee weapon," the fighter noted.
Khabib Nurmagomedov was born in 1988 in the village of. Sildi of the Tsumadinsky district (Dagestan, Russia). Khabib dominated all three rounds and won via unanimous decision. Khabib Nurmagomedov was born on September 20, 1988 in the village of Sildi, Dagestan ASSR. The love for martial arts was instilled in the future fighter by his father, who became the first coach of Khabib.
He spent 22 professional fights, winning in all fights, and also entered the TOP-10 of the best UFC fighters light weight. For this fight, Khabib received $8,000 (+ $8,000 bonus for winning). On the fourth line of the UFC put the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov (18-0), whose debut in the UFC took place on January 20, 2012. With Nate Diaz facing off against Josh Thompson, Khabib faced US prospect Abel Trujillo on May 26 at UFC 160 in Las Vegas.
Khabib Nurmagomedov: I start to swing - the weight becomes 90 kilograms
After defeating Abel Trujillo, Khabib asked via Twitter Dana White (UFC President) to give him a fight against the legendary UFC fighter- BJ Penna. At UFC 169, Khabib was scheduled to face former Strikeforce Champion Gilbert Melendez for a lightweight title fight, but the fight did not take place.
The champion fights once a year, says Khabib. - Applicants are fighting among themselves, and he is resting there with a belt
On July 5, 2014, Khabib suffered a knee injury (rupture of the cruciate ligaments), due to which he was out for one year before the fight against Tony Ferguson. On April 16, Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Darrell Horcher by TKO in the second round at 3:37 minutes. Khabib's base is freestyle wrestling, judo and combat sambo. I wanted him to stay in judo because it is olympic look sports.
Khabib write too. The truth is not always good.
After the age of 16, Khabib began to include striking techniques in his training. We gave him a left uppercut on the jump: since Khabib is a wrestler, he has a developed back, chest, legs - everything that is needed for this blow to be sharp. I fight Khabib for three minutes, then it’s already difficult for me, ”says Abdulmanap.
The clock is not yet seven in the morning, and Khabib and I are driving in his white "prior" to the small mountain Tarki-Tau, where morning running. In the non-competitive period, Khabib trains twice a day with one day off per week, and at the time of preparation for the fight, he switches to three classes a day. When I arrived in Makhachkala, Khabib and his team were just going to the mountains for a few weeks. We have already discussed who will get into whose car, we have already called the village and asked to prepare food for our arrival.
When you drive 7 kg, you start to think even better, ”says Khabib. - And if more, then along with the weight, the brains go away. Once Khabib could not pass the weigh-in the first time. Abdulmanap says that then his son decided to try to lose weight without an assistant.
The secret is in the water, says Abdulmanap. All year round, Habib drinks five liters a day - not coffee, not tea, not soda, but pure raw water. And 17 days before weighing, he begins to drink eight liters. Usually good athlete can do push-ups on uneven bars 45-50 times. The result of Khabib is up to 80 times per approach, says Abdulmanap. This fight is really logical, since June 14 former champion UFC Henderson strangled Khabib's friend Rustam Khabilov in the fourth round.
Russian lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov, who competes in the UFC lightweight division (70.3 kg), can gain up to 90 kg between fights, especially after strength training.
The funny thing is that Khabilov got this fight by mistake: he called Henderson on Twitter, and he thought that Khabib was calling him, and agreed. Yes, he said that he mixed us up, - Khabib confirms. - But Henderson is good. Khabib's sparring partners think Henderson is a great fighter, but they can't figure out why he wears long hair.
I have been observing Ramadan since I was 13,” says Habib. - I do one workout before sunset and one more - from two to three in the morning at sea. That is, I sleep during the day, and train in the evening and at night. Now he has applied for a visa again, says Habib. - I miss him in the corner. When your father screams, you become twice as strong. And here he is again fighting a small bear - and if you are rooting for Khabib when watching a recording from 16 years ago, now you are afraid for the bear.
Nurmagomedov spoke about this in a conversation with a PROsport journalist. Therefore, I work more with my weight: bars, horizontal bar, rope, running, sparring. Before the weigh-in, Khabib loses 15 kilograms and manages to regain 10 kilograms in a day between the weigh-in and the fight.
In the forest ... a Christmas tree was born, - Khabib said about the reasons for canceling the trip
Since childhood, he trained under the guidance of his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. During his stay in the USA, he trains at the AKA gym with Javier Mendez. He also stated that he wants to fight one of the best fighters on the planet, Nate Diaz, on April 20 at UFC on FOX 7 in San Jose, California.
The fight with Henderson was supposed to get Nurmagomedov, but on August 23, Dos Anjos will come out against the American - the one that was rolled out by Khabib in April. Khabib Nurmagomedov is preparing for his fights both in Russia and in the USA at the American Kikboxing Academy. At the age of 12, Nurmagomedov began to engage in freestyle wrestling at the Makhachkala School of Higher Sportsmanship under the guidance of Magomedov Saidakhmed Zulkhudzhaevich.
At the UFC 219 tournament. Throughout the fight, the Russian dominated the Brazilian Edson Barboza, winning by unanimous decision. After the fight, he did not look tired and once again announced his readiness to fight two fights in the evening.
“When I said that I could fight McGregor and Ferguson in one show, I didn’t lie. Give me an hour to rest and I'll be ready for another fight. I just finished a fight against one of the strongest strikers in the UFC, and I feel fresh, ”Nurmagomedov admitted.
The Russian fighter had his first fight since November 2016. At UFC 205, he defeated American Michael Johnson. In March 2017, he was with another US representative, Tony Ferguson, but was forced to withdraw from the fight due to health problems. According to Nurmagomedov, he was happy to be back in the cage.
“Before entering the cage, I spoke with Javier Mendez (athlete’s coach. — RT). He said that I was smiling too much, that I needed to focus on the fight. I answered him that I was extremely collected, but at the same time I enjoy my return, ”the athlete shared his emotions.
Nurmagomedov throughout the fight demonstrated superiority over the opponent, being head and shoulders above Barboza in all statistical indicators. At the same time, the Russian paid tribute to the opponent, noting that he is one of the most dangerous UFC fighters.
“Edson Barbosa could knock you out any second. I'm happy with the outcome of the fight. And also the fact that about 60% of the time of the fight I was in a dominant position. I think my time has come. I am 29 years old, I am excellent in all aspects of mixed martial arts. Many thought that the Brazilian would be able to hit me well, but it didn’t work out, ”Nurmagomedov summed up the fight.
Answering the question with whom he wants to have his next fight: with the current UFC champion Lightweight Conor McGregor or interim champion Tony Ferguson - he called the fight with the American more logical.
“Conor McGregor should. The real title of the champion is 25:0 in a career. The fight with Ferguson seems more correct to me. The Irishman won just one bout in lightweight weight category by defeating Eddie Alvarez. He is a good fighter, but he is not a champion. I think many of the representatives of this weight could beat him. He is good at boxing, but he absolutely cannot fight and does not have the necessary physical conditions. But he has a championship belt, because they want it in the UFC, ”the fighter explained.
Nurmagomedov said he hopes to have three fights in 2018, noting that the first one is due in April.
“I think the ideal date for the next fight will be April. I want to fight in April, September and December. This is my plan, ”said the athlete.
This was confirmed by his manager Rizvan Magomedov, adding that the UFC has not yet given an answer regarding the fight for the title of interim champion.
“Fight with Ferguson is not confirmed. We focus on what next fight Khabib will hold in April. Khabib feels great, he has not received any injuries. He is ready to have another fight right now, he is well prepared, ”said Magomedov.
According to the teammate of the fighter Tagir Ulanbekov, Ferguson will not be a serious test for Nurmagomedov.
“It will be the same as with Barbosa. He will also beat him on the ground - what he does best of all, ”the athlete assured in an interview with Sport Express.
According to the father and coach of the athlete Abudlmanap Nurmagomedov, after the victory at Barboza, his son has no other tasks than winning the championship belt.
“I congratulate Russia and all the fans of the world who supported us. Khabib said he wanted to show his striking technique. You can count how many blows are thrown and how many hit the target. Now the task is the belt, there are no other goals, ”said Nurmagomedov Sr.
Congratulated the winner and former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko, noting the difference in class between rivals.
“Everything worked out as I thought. Barbosa is no match for him. A fighter like Nurmagomedov cannot be knocked out with a turntable. The result was a confident victory for Khabib, with which I congratulate everyone, ”Shlemenko told TASS.
Not sure any sane human and coaching staff is really chomping at the bit to fight Khabib after watching that fight. Masterful work.
