“He’s Slowly Morphing Into His Father” – Visuals of Khabib’s Immense Weight Gain in New Snaps From Bellator vs. Rizin Event Has UFC Fans in Disbelief

Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently retired as a UFC fighter. But it’s safe to say that he is one of the all-time greats to step into the Octagon. His undefeated record of 29-0 speaks for itself. But, ‘The Eagle’ is still passionate about MMA and wants to contribute from the corner of his protege Islam Makhachev as his coach and trainer. However, that doesn’t mean he needs to maintain his shape and fitness levels. And a recent picture showed The Dagestani a little fluffier than how we’re used to seeing him.

Fans really roasted the undefeated fighter, for his appearance. As he really let go, after his fighting days were over. But people also noticed how he’s slowly becoming a spitting image of his late father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

Khabib Nurmagomedov had one too many “borgirs”

The UFC world clearly noticed the extra pounds Nurmagomedov gained in a recent picture. Users on Reddit discussed how much he would weigh, looking like he does. Clearly, Redditors were heavily imaginative. As someone pointed out, he weighed as much as 10 hasbulla’s put together.

But, most of the users agreed that Nurmagomedov has gained some poundage.

• I saw a podcast where he said he tries to stay below 209lbs
• Considering he used to cut down from 185-190, 210 is honestly decent weight for him
• Considering how active he still is, all the training he does, he’s still a big boy. Borgors every day
• You can’t outrun a happy diet
• I was gonna say 215 with his height+fluffiness+ muscle mass

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s influence on his son

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov passed his baton to his son, who has successfully carried his legacy until this point. As a fighter, ‘The Eagle’ once made his father cry with immense joy as he fulfilled his lifelong dream. And retired as an undefeated fighter.

But, has added some extra pounds since his retirement as he’s getting older. And fans believe he looks quite similar to his father.
