Khabib Nurmagomedov was a force to reckon with when he competed in the UFC. He held an incredible record of 29-0-0 under his credit and decided to retire undefeated. Following his retirement, ‘The Eagle’ is coaching a number of other fighters in the UFC.

However, according to Khabib‘s latest update, there is a new member in the making to be a part of Team Khabib. And that is none other than his 5-year-old son himself. In a recent interview, ‘The Eagle’ provided updates on his son’s preparation, which has fans eagerly anticipating Khabib Jr.

Following the training update of Khabib‘s son, the fans have already started anticipating a prospective bout between him and Conor McGregor‘s son, Conor Jr.

Fans can’t wait to see Khabib Jr. in action

During an event of Eagle FC, an interviewer asked ‘The Eagle’ about his son, and whether he will start training at an early age, just like his father. To which the 34-year-old replied that his son started training even earlier than he did, “My son is already training and doing gymnastics. He has a good coach that I trust (and) he already trains in Makhachkala. He started earlier than I did, at 3.5 years of age.”

Furthermore, the interviewer asked Khabib about his son’s wrestling training and who will coach him. And ‘The Eagle’ has the perfect reply to it. He said, “You have a better candidate than me? I’ll be coaching him.”

And then there were some reactions involving Conor McGregor‘s son, too:

Well, as early as it is to talk about it, the fans couldn’t help but anticipate Conor Jr. vs. Khabib Jr. already. That is how iconic the rivalry between “The Notorious” and “The Eagle” has become.

Team Khabib’s new member?

Team Khabib already includes some of the best fighters who are dominating their way to the top in the UFC. And, given the fact that ‘The Eagle’ will train his son in wrestling, it wouldn’t be surprising to see his son entering combat sports soon one day.

Khabib Nurmagomedov retired, undefeated, had his name in the UFC Hall of Fame, and was titled the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC. Now that is one tough legacy to carry forward.

Khabib Jr. will certainly have his hands full if he decides to enter the world of combat sports. But on the contrary, he will have the best of the best coach, watching out for his back.
