Khabib’s father had a dream which the fighter fulfilled. However, the dream wasn’t easy to achieve. Khabib Nurmagomedov, along with his father, had to put in years of hard work. By remaining undefeated throughout his professional MMA career and becoming the lightweight champion, the Russian fighter fulfilled his father’s dream.

While Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov is no more, people still talk about him while discussing Khabib’s success. After all, his relentless efforts pushed ‘The Eagle’ to new heights. In an old video on YouTube, Khabib’s father can be seen looking quite emotional while watching his son fight.

Khabib had faced Al Iaquinta in the octagon and won through a unanimous decision. With this victory, he became the UFC lightweight champion. Unfortunately, his father could not accompany and corner him. During the in-ring interview, the fighter had expressed that he was sad that his father wasn’t present in the venue with him.

Watching his son become the champion would have definitely been an emotional moment for Abdulmanap.
