Khabib Nurmagomedov is enjoying his life as a retired athlete at the moment. ‘The Eagle’ hung up his gloves after a dominant win over Justin Gaethje last October and has since spent the majority of his time enjoying pursuits outside the sport of MMA. Nurmagomedov was recently spotted in the United Kingdom where he was invited to speak as a guest at the Arnold Sports Festival. It was at the same event where Nurmagomedov was playfully choked out by Georges St-Pierre as the ‘Rush’ surprised his fellow MMA legend on stage. Following his obligations, ‘The Eagle’ took out time to enjoy a sport he loves more than MMA itself. The former lightweight champion was spotted at the Old Trafford stadium. ‘The Eagle’ was in attendance for a Premier League clash between Everton and Manchester United. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUiDx2Srt5a/ Not only did Nurmagomedov get a jersey from the club, he also got a chance to meet incredible sporting icons. Manchester United’s account posted a picture of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson standing alongside club-legend Patrice Evra, Usain Bolt, and Khabib Nurmagomedov. ‘The Eagle [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/]’ also posted a photo on Instagram with Sir Alex Ferguson with the caption, “it was a great honor to speak with a Legend.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CUkNPlUsTDH/?utm_medium=copy_link A BIG MONTH COMING UP FOR KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV AS A COACH Nurmagomedov has an army of fighters under him with Eagle’s MMA. However, arguably the most promising fighters under him are Islam Makhachev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/] and Usman Nurmagomedov. Both men have big fights scheduled this month, which will be extremely important in their respective careers. Usman Nurmagomedov takes on Patrick Pietila at Bellator 269 on October 23rd. Pietila is 2-1 in his last three fights. He will be looking to hand Nurmagomedov his first loss as a professional [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/image01-229.jpeg] Islam Makhachev, on the other hand, is fighting at UFC 267 as he takes on Dan Hooker on short notice. Makhachev is currently on an eight-fight win streak. It will be hard to imagine anything apart from a title shot for him if he secures a win against Hooker. It will be interesting to see how both men perform under the able guidance of ‘The Eagle’. Do you think Khabib Nurmagomedov’s star pupils can secure wins? Let us know in the comments below!

<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.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

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.
