Usman Nurmagomedov is one of many promising talents under Khabib Nurmagomedov and Eagle’s MMA. The 23-year old has started making a name for himself with impressive performances in Bellator thus far. Nurmagomedov is an extremely well-rounded fighter and possesses the same pedigree of wrestling as his cousin ‘The Eagle’. Following his win Luis Muro, Nurmagomedov shared his thoughts on his performance as well as what his coach ‘The Eagle’ thought of his performance as well. He said [https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2021/08/bellator-263-usman-nurmagomedov-wanted-longer-fight-says-coach-khabib-nurmagomedov-was-critical-of-performance], “I wanted to show people that I have wrestling as well, that I have grappling, and to make a statement that I’m not only a striking guy,” Nurmagomedov said through a translator at the post-fight news conference. “That’s why I was trying to fight for a little longer” Nurmagomedov [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Usman-Nurmagomedov-296291] continued, “When he (Khabib) stepped inside the cage, he pointed out all of my mistakes. (He said) I had a lot of mistakes, but we will work on them and improve.” Buffer’s Octagon Introduction [https://www.essentiallysports.com/mma-ufc-news-watch-jorge-masvidal-is-stunned-after-a-fan-impersonates-bruce-buffers-octagon-introduction/] USMAN NURMAGOMEDOV IS ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR IN BELLATOR Nurmagomedov was extremely impressive in his win over Muro. As soon as the fight started, Usman Nurmagomedov was in control. He was able to secure a takedown early on and attempted a few submissions, but Muro was able to fend them off. However, in an exchange against the fence, Nurmagomedov landed a knee to the body, and that hurt Muro. As soon as Muro went down, Nurmagomedov piled on the pressure and landed a barrage of punches. The referee stepped in and stopped the fight, as he had seen enough. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/image02-28.jpg] This was just his second fight in Bellator but Nurmagomedov is proving to be a force to be reckoned with at lightweight in the promotion. Khabib Nurmagomedov’s cousin definitely does have a superior level of wrestling given he was trained under ‘The Eagle [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/]’s’ late father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. However, he also possesses bonafide knockout power and has secured 62% of his wins via T/KO. Which makes him all the more dangerous. Nurmagomedov has stayed pretty active thus far. He has everything going on in his favor to become a massive name in Bellator. He has all the makings of a future world champion. 

Usman Nurmagomedov shares his thoughts on his performance against Muro and
reveals Khabib Nurmagomedov's criticism on his performance.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">History</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bellator MMA is one of the world's largest mixed martial arts promotions and is recognised as the closest competitor to the UFC. The term Bellator has its origin in Latin language which translates to 'warrior' in English.</span>

Bjorn Rebney founded the company in 2008 and ran it until 2014, before departing and handing the reins to Scott Coker. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Presently, the company has successfully hosted 242 numbered events. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The former Strikeforce executive made the move after his contract with Zuffa expired. Following Coker’s arrival, Bellator MMA pivoted to a more traditional North American approach to the sport. This is a </span><a href="https://www.si.com/mma/2014/09/04/scott-coker-bellator-format-changing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">departure</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from the organization's tournament format during its initial phase. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Like all American martial arts organizations, the rules for fights in the Bellator promotion are exactly the same with eye gouges and groin strikes deemed as illegal offenses for which fighters can incur point penalties or be disqualified. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Along with MMA, Bellator has a kickboxing promotion which has hosted 12 events since its </span><a href="http://www.bellator.com/articles/43lpt8/scott-coker-launches-bellator-kickboxing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">inception</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2016.</span>
<h2>Some big names who are part of Bellator MMA</h2>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Khabib Nurmagomedov: Net Worth 2024, MMA Record, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Khabib Nurmagomedov?</strong></h2>
A name that needs no introduction, Khabib Nurmagomedov is a retired MMA fighter who is an absolute legend and retired from the sport undefeated. This combat Sambo specialist is known for his dominant wrestling and grappling skills, alongside extraordinary ground control.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]<img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-938744056" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0040758407h.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="762" /> via Imago[/caption]

The first Muslim to have won a UFC title, Nurmagomedov's influence extends way beyond the octagon, especially in Russia, his home. So here's a peek at the life of 'The Eagle' from the mountains of Dagestan, who vanquished all the UFC middleweight contenders.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
<strong>Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov</strong>Â was born into an Avar family on September 20, 1988, in Sildi village, located in the Tsumadinsky District of the Dagestan ASSR in the former Soviet Union, which is now part of Russia. His father,Â <strong>Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov</strong>, was a decorated athlete and war veteran. Khabib has two siblings, an older brother namedÂ <strong>Muhammad Nurmagomedov</strong>Â and a younger sister namedÂ <strong>Amina Nurmagomedov</strong>. He received his early education in his village's local school, where his father guided him in combat training from a young age.

When he was fifteen, the family moved to Makhachkala, where he continued wrestling training and began taking judo classes. Khabib found the switch from wrestling to judo difficult, but his father insisted that Khabib learn how to compete in a gi jacket.

In addition to his fighting training, Khabib continued his schooling, enrolling in the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and was a third-year student as of 2019. Despite his academic pursuits, Khabib remained focused on his combat sports career.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's father was Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and his mother's name is not disclosed. Abdulmanap was a highly respected MMA coach and former wrestler who trained numerous champions, including his own son Khabib. He was known for his innovative training methods and his ability to inspire his fighters to achieve their full potential. He also played a key role in the development of MMA in Dagestan, Russia, where he founded and ran a successful gym.

Khabib's mother was a homemaker who played a crucial role in supporting her husband's coaching career and raising their kids. In fact,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-im-only-32-years-old-khabib-nurmagomedov-reveals-whether-he-would-return-to-ufc-with-his-mothers-permission/" target="_self" rel="noopener">it was due to his mother's promise that Khabib retired from fighting</a>.

Sadly, Abdulmanap passed away in 2020 after complications from COVID-19, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of fighters to come.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s wife and children</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov and his wife Patimat Nurmagomedov tied the knot in June 2013. Not much information is available on his wife as she does not have any social media presence, and Khabib has always maintained privacy regarding his personal life.

The couple has three children. Their firstborn was a daughter named Fatima Nurmagomedov, born on 1 June 2015. Two years later, they welcomed a son named Magomed Nurmagomedov, named after Khabib's great-grandfather, on 30 December 2017. Another son, Husayn Nurmagomedov, was born on 22 December 2019.

Despite Khabib's fame as a professional fighter, his family of five lives a private life away from the public eye. They keep their personal life out of the spotlight and focus on spending time together as a family.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Khabib's victory over Conor McGregor elevated his status to a Mega Star. He made over $6,640,000 against Conor. However, he was fined $0.5 million for the post-fight brawl.

Nurmagomedov was awarded a whopping $6,877,500 for his second title defense against Dustin Poirier. As per reports, 'The Eagle' has made $21,720,200 in his 13 UFC fights. <strong>'The Eagle' has an estimated net worth of $40 million.</strong>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov burst onto the MMA scene with a bang in 2008 when he made his debut. He secured an impressive four wins in just one month, three of which were on a single day. He continued to compete in various tournaments and championships until he set his sights on joining the UFC.

After amassing a record of 16 wins outside of the UFC, Khabib finally made his UFC debut in 2012, and it was a resounding success. He defeated Kamal Shalorus by submission in the third round and continued his path of destruction from his previous victories outside the octagon. He went on to defeat the likes of Gleison Tibau, Edson Barboza, Michael Johnson, and Thiago Tavares before embarking on his title run.

</figcaption></figure>
Despite his dominant performances, Khabib's championship pursuits were stalled by a series of injuries and missed opportunities. However, he remained steadfast in his training and skill refinement. Eventually, he earned a shot at the UFC lightweight title in 2018 against Al Iaquinta. That fight saw Iaquinta stepping up on short notice, leading to Khabib living his dream.

After that, in a highly anticipated showdown with champion<strong>Â Conor McGregor</strong>, Khabib delivered a dominant performance, submitting his opponent in the fourth round to claim the belt. However, the victory was marred by a post-fight brawl that erupted between Khabib and McGregor's team, leading to fines and suspensions for both fighters.

<p id="node---33435-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Undeterred by the controversy, Khabib continued to defend his title with impressive victories over top contenders like Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. However, in October 2020, Khabib announced his retirement from MMA, citing personal reasons and a desire to focus on his family and other endeavors.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s MMA promotion - Eagle FC</strong></h2>
One of these endeavors is his role as a promoter for the MMA organization Eagle FC, which he founded in 2019. Drawing on his experience as a fighter and coach, Khabib is working to develop a new generation of talented fighters and promote the sport in his home country of Russia and beyond.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
In June 2020, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-khabib-nurmagomedov-becomes-russias-most-successful-athlete-and-celebrity/#:~:text=For%20the%20second%20time%20in,in%20the%20previous%20fiscal%20year." target="_self" rel="noopener">Forbes Russia</a> announced that Nurmagomedov is the most successful Russian athlete.

In 2019, Khabib announced he was the brand ambassador of a payment service called SalamPay. Apart from that, he is sponsored by big companies like Gorilla Energy, Reebok, and Toyota.

The champion also makes quite a lot of money for special appearances. According to his manager, the Russian charges $300k per day for speaking engagements.

Apart from these, Nurmagomedov owns several brands that he has named after his moniker 'The Eagle'. This includes an MMA promotion known as the 'Eagle Fighting Championship', which conducted its first North American event in 2022.

'The Eagle' also launched a fast-food chain known as M-eat. Currently, the eatery has 14 locations in Russia and plans to venture into neighboring countries in the future.

Despite his ascent to the top, not much has changed when it comes to the Russian's house. Situated in the village of Sildi, Dagestan, Nurmagomedov's humble abode is reportedly nothing that would stand out, but surely has a view to die for. His house dorns neither fancy interiors nor luxury items. According to some local publications of Dagestan, the house boasts two rooms with ottomans and beds, a pantry, and even what they describe as an old refrigerator.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, however, lives in Nurmagomedov Street. Yes! That right. Nonetheless, it was not named after either his or his father's legacy but his Sambo world champion uncle Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov.

But this entire picture changes when it comes to his American homes.
