Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib and his squad will join the upcoming UFC 254

The presence of three close teammates will be a great motivation for Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254 next October. More specifically, these are teammates who stood at the corner of Khabib in the infamous brawl at UFC 229.

UFC 254 will be the third time Khabib Nurmagomedov has defended the Lightweight Championship. The opponent this time of “Dagestan Eagle” will be American boxer Justin Gaethje.

Before the match, Khabib was constantly having difficulty and mourning his father in early July. In addition, the complicated developments of COVID-19 also prevented him from returning to the US, reuniting with head coach Javier Mendez and teammates at American Kickboxing Academy.

But not for that, Khabib will be alone at UFC 254, when there are 3 brothers of the champion who will be on the same stage at this event.

Khabib and three other teammates will go to war at UFC 254

This is not the first time that Khabib has led the team to appear together in an UFC event. Last September, he and two teammates Islam Makhachev and Zubaira Tukhugov played at UFC 242.

Of the three who will join Khabib at UFC 252, Islam Makhachev is considered the most potential puncher at present. Martial artists born in 1991 are having a series of 6 consecutive wins, overwhelming their opponents and becoming more comprehensive.

Abubakar Nurmagomedov is one of three people who had a fight with Conor McGregor at UFC 229. Meanwhile, Umar Nurmagomedov is the newest name of Team Khabib with a contract with UFC. However, the club fights’ debut at UFC 249 was delayed because of the COVID-19.

Scheduled to play at UFC 254, but the location where Khabib will face Justin Gaethje has not been determined. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Dana White is considering bringing events back to Fight Island in Abu Dhabi for safety.

If playing in Abu Dhabi, Khabib can repeat the same achievements with his teammates like UFC 242 and defend the championship for the third time.

Khabib Nurmagomedov responded to contempt for COVID-19 at home

In the face of disregard for the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, Khabib Nurmagomedov shared the situation his home town was facing to warn people.

In recent days, the illness of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, father of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, has received much attention. Especially when the disease COVID-19 has spread in Russia with the 2nd highest number of infections worldwide.

However, there are still many individuals who seem to disregard the dangers of this disease. There are even people who think that COVID-19 is just a deceit of the government and the media. Responding to this comment on his personal page, Khabib responded quite harshly and shared the seriousness of the disease situation in his home country.

Dagestan, Khabib’s hometown, is facing a serious condition due to COVID-19

Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, is also undergoing intensive treatment after surgery. The cause is reported to be a recurrent heart disease due to the effects of COVID-19. For now, Abdulmanap is still using medical support to sustain his life.

Currently, Russia is ranked 2nd worldwide with 308 thousand COVID-19 infections with more than 2900 deaths. Particularly in Khabib’s home town of Dagestan, the government acknowledges that the number here exceeds the estimate of the data sent to Moscow.

Trapped in Russia since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Khabib Nurmagomedov is carrying out self-training and radical isolation. The UFC champion also regularly shares the advice that people should implement social spacing and avoid crowding, until the risk of the global pandemic is over.

Khabib is still at Dagestan practicing himself and performing Ramadan

Blocking Dagestan due to the COVID-19 pandemic since April, Khabib Nurmagomedov has yet to show the possibility of returning to UFC at least this summer. After the results of UFC 249, the lightweight champion’s next opponent will be American puncher Justin Gaethje – who just won the interim belt after winning Tony Ferguson.

As expected by President Dana White, the title match between Khabib and Justin Gaethje is likely to start in the fall from August this year. And if Khabib’s return to the US is still not feasible, it is possible that both fighters will have to face each other on “Fight Island” – the UFC project has been cherishing since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
