UFC Lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov is dealing with a battle tougher than anything he has faced in his life. For the last few weeks, his father has been teetering on the verge of life and death. Earlier, reports indicated that Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov was awoken from the medically induced coma. However, as per RT Sport, the 57-year-old’s condition has deteriorated rapidly.

Father of Khabib Nurmagomedov on life support

Russian media reports say that Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov is once more in a coma. In addition to this, he is on life support as he is unable to breathe on his own. This harrowing development comes just days after doctors noticed a minor improvement in his condition. 

Yesterday, ‘The Eagle’ took to Instagram and revealed to the world that his father was indeed down with the coronavirus. 

He said, “He’s in the hospital now, he’s in a very serious condition. He had heart complications stemming from the virus. This virus has very seriously affected his heart, since he had a heart operation a year ago. He’s had surgery again. He’s in a difficult situation, very difficult. We ask Allah to return him to us. Thank you very much to everyone who writes, who sends their support. May Allah help us all.” (Translated by RT Sport)  

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov was down with pneumonia last month. However, he insisted he was fine and rejected coronavirus tests. This proved to be his undoing as his health worsened and the family moved him to a military hospital in Moscow. Here, he required heart surgery due to coronavirus complications.
