UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to return to the octagon later this month, although in a different capacity. The “eagle” is set to corner his cousin Usman Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi when he faces Jerry Kvanstrom. Khabib Nurmagomedov Earns Reported $6 Million Payout For UFC 242 ...

Unlike his cousin, Usman has been praised for his striking skills and has defeated most of his opponents via TKO. Usman faces an experienced opponent in Kvanstrom. Jerry has amassed a record of 15-14 and is looking to get back to winning ways after his previous loss.. However, if Usman’s last fights are anything to go by, he’ll certainly be going into this fight as the favorite. Despite coming from the famous Nurmagomedov family, Usman’s main strength lies in his striking coupled with dangerous submissions. He’s known for being equally good on the ground and will look to put the pressure on Kvanstrom from the very first round. Just like his cousin, Khabib also announced his return on social media and will defend his title in October. Khabib has been out of action since defeating Dustin Poirier in September last year. The “eagle” has endured a lot since after the tragic passing away of his father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Many speculated that Nurmagomedov would step away from the octagon for a while. White also revealed he would give Khabib enough time to mourn the tragic loss. However, Khabib is looking to make a quick come back and is set to face Justin Gaethje on the 24th of October.

Justin Gaethje: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements

<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 June 2020, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-khabib-nurmagomedov-becomes-russias-most-successful-athlete-and-celebrity/#:~:text=For%20the%20second%20time%20in,in%20the%20previous%20fiscal%20year." target="_self" rel="noopener">Forbes Russia</a> announced that Nurmagomedov is the #1 most successful Russian athlete.

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.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Charity and Foundation</strong></h2>
After his dominant victory over Conor McGregor, Khabib traveled to Uganda to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.rt.com/sport/443728-khabib-charity-mission-nigeria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fix </a>13 wells so that people could have clean and safe drinking water.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s House</strong></h2>
Despite his ascent to the top, not much has changed when it comes to the Russian's house. Situated in the village of Sildi, Dagestan, Nurmagomedov's humble abode is reportedly nothing that would stand out, but surely has a view to die for. 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.
