Khabib Nurmagomedov is an asset to the world of MMA. During his professional career, the undefeated fighter (29-0) from Dagestan reached the pinnacle of MMA. Moreover, he stayed in it as a coach to contribute more to the sport. Even as a coach, ‘The Eagle’ cemented his legacy following his friend Islam Makhachev and cousin Usman Nurmagomedov’s championship victories. Nurmagomedov’s legacy was always to continue his father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s dream – to develop world-class fighters from their region.
