UFC has some huge fights planned in the coming year. While Conor McGregor [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/] makes his return on January 18th, Khabib Nurmagomedov defends his title against Tony Ferguson on April 18th. Conor McGregor makes his much-anticipated UFC return on UFC 246 against Donald Cerrone. Interestingly, this fight is in the welterweight division. This would be the third welterweight fight in UFC for McGregor while Cerrone has a fair amount of experience at this division. On the other hand, Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-tony-ferguson-set-to-fight-khabib-nurmagomedov-for-lightweight-title-on-april-18/] vs Tony Ferguson has been made official for the fifth time. Both fighters are on an incredible winning streak in the division and it is safe to say that Ferguson has the most chances to beat Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/]. However, former lightweight interim champion, Dustin Poirier thinks otherwise. Dustin Poirier has shared the octagon with both Conor McGregor [https://www.essentiallysports.com/breaking-conor-mcgregor-will-headline-ufc-246-against-donald-cerrone-at-welterweight/] and Khabib Nurmagomedov in his fight career. While he fought McGregor back in 2014, he faced Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 242. Unfortunately, on both the occasion the outcome did not go in favor of Poirier. However, that did not stop Dustin [https://twitter.com/DustinPoirier/status/1200797185706774529?s=20] to speak his mind honestly when asked to predict the next fight of his past opponents. When asked to pick a winner for Conor McGregor vs Donald Cerrone, Poirier predicted McGregor to win via TKO. Again when asked to predict Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson, Dustin Poirier chooses the Russian to continue his winning streak. Khabib Nurmagomedov has dominated all his opponents in UFC. However, Tony Ferguson presents a unique challenge on the ground. Ferguson is offensive from his back and he is unpredictable. He has submitted fighters before and he does have a wrestling background, which might be helpful against Nurmagomedov who relies on his grappling ability to break his opponents. However, Poirier does not give any chance to Ferguson on the ground against Nurmagomedov. Do you agree with the predictions of Dustin Poirier for Conor McGregor vs Donald Cerrone and Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson?

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Khabib Nurmagomedov: Net Worth 2024, MMA Record, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Khabib Nurmagomedov?</strong></h2>
A name that needs no introduction, Khabib Nurmagomedov is a retired MMA fighter who is an absolute legend and retired from the sport undefeated. This combat Sambo specialist is known for his dominant wrestling and grappling skills, alongside extraordinary ground control.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]<img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-938744056" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0040758407h.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="762" /> via Imago[/caption]

The first Muslim to have won a UFC title, Nurmagomedov's influence extends way beyond the octagon, especially in Russia, his home. So here's a peek at the life of 'The Eagle' from the mountains of Dagestan, who vanquished all the UFC middleweight contenders.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Early Life</strong></h2>
<strong>Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov</strong> was born into an Avar family on September 20, 1988, in Sildi village, located in the Tsumadinsky District of the Dagestan ASSR in the former Soviet Union, which is now part of Russia. His father, <strong>Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov</strong>, was a decorated athlete and war veteran. Khabib has two siblings, an older brother named <strong>Muhammad Nurmagomedov</strong> and a younger sister named <strong>Amina Nurmagomedov</strong>. He received his early education in his village's local school, where his father guided him in combat training from a young age.

When he was fifteen, the family moved to Makhachkala, where he continued wrestling training and began taking judo classes. Khabib found the switch from wrestling to judo difficult, but his father insisted that Khabib learn how to compete in a gi jacket.

In addition to his fighting training, Khabib continued his schooling, enrolling in the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and was a third-year student as of 2019. Despite his academic pursuits, Khabib remained focused on his combat sports career.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's father was Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and his mother's name is not disclosed. Abdulmanap was a highly respected MMA coach and former wrestler who trained numerous champions, including his own son Khabib. He was known for his innovative training methods and his ability to inspire his fighters to achieve their full potential. He also played a key role in the development of MMA in Dagestan, Russia, where he founded and ran a successful gym.

Khabib's mother was a homemaker who played a crucial role in supporting her husband's coaching career and raising their kids. In fact, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-im-only-32-years-old-khabib-nurmagomedov-reveals-whether-he-would-return-to-ufc-with-his-mothers-permission/" target="_self" rel="noopener">it was due to his mother's promise that Khabib retired from fighting</a>.

Sadly, Abdulmanap passed away in 2020 after complications from COVID-19, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of fighters to come.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong> Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Wife and Children</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov and his wife Patimat Nurmagomedov tied the knot in June 2013. Not much information is available on his wife as she does not have any social media presence, and Khabib has always maintained privacy regarding his personal life.

The couple has three children. Their firstborn was a daughter named Fatima Nurmagomedov, born on 1 June 2015. Two years later, they welcomed a son named Magomed Nurmagomedov, who was named after Khabib's great-grandfather, on 30 December 2017. Another son was born on 22 December 2019, named Husayn Nurmagomedov.

Despite Khabib's fame as a professional fighter, his family of five lives a private life away from the public eye. They keep their personal life out of the spotlight and focus on spending time together as a family.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
Khabib's victory over Conor McGregor elevated his status to a Mega Star. He made over $6,640,000 against Conor. However, he was fined $0.5 million for the post-fight brawl.

Nurmagomedov was awarded a whopping $6,877,500 for his second title defense against Dustin Poirier. As per reports, 'The Eagle' has made $21,720,200 in his 13 UFC fights. <strong>'The Eagle' has an estimated net worth of $40 million.</strong>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov burst onto the MMA scene with a bang in 2008 when he made his debut. He secured an impressive four wins in just one month, three of which were on a single day. He continued to compete in various tournaments and championships until he set his sights on joining the UFC.

After amassing a record of 16 wins outside of the UFC, Khabib finally made his UFC debut in 2012, and it was a resounding success. He defeated Kamal Shalorus by submission in the third round and continued his path of destruction from his previous victories outside the octagon. He went on to defeat the likes of Gleison Tibau, Edson Barboza, Michael Johnson, and Thiago Tavares before embarking on his title run.

Despite his dominant performances, Khabib's championship pursuits were stalled by a series of injuries and missed opportunities. However, he remained steadfast in his training and skill refinement. Eventually, he earned a shot at the UFC lightweight title in 2018 against Al Iaquinta. That fight saw Iaquinta stepping up on short notice, leading to Khabib living his dream.

After that, in a highly anticipated showdown with champion<strong> Conor McGregor</strong>, Khabib delivered a dominant performance, submitting his opponent in the fourth round to claim the belt. However, the victory was marred by a post-fight brawl that erupted between Khabib and McGregor's team, leading to fines and suspensions for both fighters.

Undeterred by the controversy, Khabib continued to defend his title with impressive victories over top contenders like Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. However, in October 2020, Khabib announced his retirement from MMA, citing personal reasons and a desire to focus on his family and other endeavors.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s MMA Promotion - Eagle FC</strong></h2>
One of these endeavors is his role as a promoter for the MMA organization Eagle FC, which he founded in 2019. Drawing on his experience as a fighter and coach, Khabib is working to develop a new generation of talented fighters and promote the sport in his home country of Russia and beyond.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Partnerships and Endorsements</strong></h2>

In 2019, Khabib announced he was the brand ambassador of a payment service called SalamPay. Apart from that, he is sponsored by big companies like Gorilla Energy, Reebok, and Toyota.

The champion also makes quite a lot of money for special appearances. According to his manager, the Russian charges $300k per day for speaking engagements.

Apart from these, Nurmagomedov owns several brands that he has named after his moniker 'The Eagle'. This includes an MMA promotion known as the 'Eagle Fighting Championship', which conducted its first North American event in 2022.

'The Eagle' also launched a fast-food chain known as M-eat. Currently, the eatery has 14 locations in Russia and plans to venture into neighboring countries in the future.

His house dorns neither fancy interiors nor luxury items. According to some local publications of Dagestan, the house boasts two rooms with ottomans and beds, a pantry, and even what they describe as an old refrigerator.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, however, lives in Nurmagomedov Street. Yes! That right. Nonetheless, it was not named after either his or his father's legacy but his Sambo world champion uncle Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov.

But this entire picture changes when it comes to his American homes.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Ferguson's early life</strong></h2>
Ferguson was born in the Californian city of Oxnard. However, his stay there was pretty brief as his family relocated to Muskegon, Michigan, where he spent most of his childhood. Despite carrying mixed Scottish and Mexican roots, 'El Cucuy' often recognizes himself as a true American due to his birth and growing up in the US. Ferguson showcased his prowess in sports right from his adolescence days.

He joined the?Muskegon Catholic Central High School, where he became a three-sport athlete competing in football, baseball, and wrestling. He served as a starting defensive back for the Division 8 state football champions of the year 2000. Ferguson also didn't fail to showcase his mettle in wrestling. He went on to become a three-time All-State selection, bagging the championship of the 152-lb division in 2002.

Ferguson had a failed attempt at completing his college degree. He enrolled in three colleges, Central Michigan University,?Grand Valley State University, and Muskegon Community College, but dropped out from each of them before completing his due course for a degree.

However, he had a fruitful collegiate wrestling career, as he conquered the 165-pound division of the National Wrestling Championship in 2006, organized by the National Collegiate Wrestling Association.

Post college, 'the Boogeyman of the UFC' experienced a pretty ordinary life. He moved back to California and started working as a marketing and sales executive during the day and as a bartender at night. However, it was this stint as a bartender which eventually propelled him to get into MMA.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-403743" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201008170043/Tony-Ferguson-UFC-Fight-1.jpg" alt="" width="1158" height="813" />

One night, while Ferguson was at his bartending desk, one of his patrons noticed his cauliflower ear and struck up a conversation about how he got it. Eventually, he got to know about the '39-year-old's' wrestling background. The person was an MMA trainer himself. Also, he is the actual one who got 'El Cucuy' into MMA initially, by inviting him to train in his gym alongside a few other young athletes.

Reportedly, Ferguson got instantly hooked on the sport after his training and even decided to go for a professional career in MMA. Most fans might agree it was the bar conversation about Ferguson's cauliflower ear which propelled him toward becoming one of the biggest names in MMA today.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Ferguson MMA record</h2>
<p style="text-align: left">After a healthy period of training, Ferguson finally began his professional MMA career in 2007. Initially, he fought for a few small Californian promotions named California Xtreme Fighting, Total Fighting Alliance, and a few others. He also amassed a remarkable record of 12-2 which created his pathway to the thirteenth season of the UFC's noted fighting-based reality show, 'The Ultimate Fighter'.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">He made his entry into the show as a part of the noted former UFC Heavyweight champ and WWE star, Brock Lesnar's team. 'The Californian' showcased some superb in-octagon skills to ramp up two consecutive victories and advance to the finals. Hence, 'El Cucuy' made his UFC debut on 4 June 2011, for the final of 'The Ultimate Fighter' against Ramsey Nijem. Ferguson went on to finish his opponent in the first round of his UFC debut bout via KO, earning the 'Knockout of the Night' bonus and announcing his arrival to the UFC in grand style.</p>

He defeated?<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-lee/">Kevin Lee</a> to become the interim- lightweight champion of the UFC. However, he was later stripped of the title because of a gruesome injury. Despite this, fans refer to him as the ?People?s Champion.? Prior to his fight with?<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-gaethje/">Justin Gaethje</a>, Ferguson was on a twelve-fight win streak.



. He attempted to capture the interim title again, but 'The Highlight' stopped him in his tracks. Since then, Ferguson has been on an all-time low in his career, losing out his last four fights consecutively to a few noted UFC names like <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/">Michael Chandler</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-oliveira/">Charles Oliveira</a>.

He had his last fight against the noted, 'Stockton Gangster', <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/">Nate Diaz</a> at UFC 279 but failed to get himself back on the winning track. 'The UFC's Boogeyman' currently holds a record of 25-8 in his entire professional MMA career.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Ferguson: Fighting Style</h2>
Over the years, Ferguson has developed a style difficult to beat, and he has destroyed his opponents. His high pace and pressure make it difficult for opponents to catch up to him. He is the most unorthodox and unpredictable fighter in the UFC.

While most fighters don?t like to be put on their backs, Ferguson thrives on that position. He has vicious elbows and slick submissions in his arsenal. Further, he is famous for his D'arce chokes. Apart from his ground game, he has very underrated striking.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Ferguson's wife</h2>
