Belal Muhammad is one of the most underrated fighters in the welterweight division. Skill at its highest level isn’t the only thing that is looked at in a promotion like the UFC. A marketable personality is something that they look for, along with how well you can fight. ‘Remember The Name’ has been climbing the welterweight ladder, but still has a long way to go. Beating a welterweight like Vicente Luque [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/vicente-luque/] definitely helped Muhammad rise as he did it with the right balance between aggression and fight IQ. Muhammad, predominantly a grappler, left fans in shock when he outstruck a fighter like Luque. A fighter with great grappling skills and a beard is more often than not compared to the Lightweight GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/]. In an interview with Marc Raimondi for ESPN MMA, Belal Muhammad talked about his performance during Fight Night and compared his style and path to the former Dagestani champ. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-from-2022-04-17-09-36-05.png] “Yeah, I mean, some people just literally want you to stand up from each other until somebody dies, but for me, I already like, like Khabib says, like I already know I’m tough. I already know I can take punches.“ WATCH THIS STORY – Conor McGregor’s Super-Human Body Transformation After The Horrific Injury At UFC 264 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/mma-ufc-news-conor-mcgregors-super-human-body-transformation-after-the-horrific-injury-at-ufc-264/] He added, “I already know I can sit there and bang if I have to bang, but, I’m also smart. And I think that separates me from a lot of these guys, where I know how to break down guys, I know how to analyze how to win a fight, I know how to see what their weaknesses is and figure out a game plan to come up with to beat them.“ WHAT’S NEXT FOR BELAL MUHAMMAD? Muhammad, who sits at #6 in the welterweight rankings, can only go up from beating an opponent like Vicente Luque. It won’t make sense for Belal Muhammad to fight lower-ranked opponents if he’s looking to become champion anytime soon. Also Read: The Mystery Behind the Never Seen Wife of Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/the-mystery-behind-the-never-seen-wife-of-khabib-nurmagomedov-ufc/] Gilbert Burns, Leon Edwards, Colby Covington, and Khamzat Chimaev- These are some of the plausible choices should the UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] go that way. ‘Durinho’ is a plausible fight for Muhammad, since he just suffered a loss to Khamzat Chimaev. It will be a good test for both men as they are good grapplers and have the potential to stand and trade as well. 

A surprise for real. Belal Muhammad talks to Marc Raimondi of ESPN about how
he's proceeding with his fight game with the Lightweight GOAT in mind.

love for the UFC was double-sided with the business of it being just as
intriguing as the martial arts aspect of it. “Don't just fight, perform” is a

feet with their skill as well as swagger and trash talk capabilities. Rohit has

<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.

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.
