In a video, The Dagestani fighter spoke about his childhood, his father, and several other unknown aspects of his life. He spoke about his strict childhood and how he had to do all of his chores himself. He said, “13 years old, I think, now I understand you have to learn how to be independent, but that time it was hard for us.”

He further revealed, “Like an army. We had an army life. Each had to clean after himself, to wash clothes, to iron them, to go to school and back home, to cook. Everything of this we were doing by ourselves.”

“The main training, when I was in front of father, he was squeezing me out completely. But he gave me a small freedom, to let to the independent life. Maybe it was kind of a preparation for a big run to a professional sport.”

‘The Eagle’ recognizes that it is his father’s teachings and his own hard work that enabled him to achieve heights that many fail to. Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s contribution to making Khabib one of the best MMA fighters can never be disregarded.
