Belal Muhammad ended the year smoothly by securing a comfortable win over the #5 welterweight Stephen Thompson. Meanwhile, Muhammad himself broke into the upper echelon of the 170 pounds division, as he is the new #5 of the division. At present, ‘Remember The Name’ has all the right reasons to be merry during the holidays season. But this time, ‘Bully B’ wished everyone in a different tone. Belal Muhammad took to Twitter to share an old video of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Season’s greetings video series with a caption, “I miss these videos” In the video, retired UFC lightweight superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/] pours out his brutally honest opinion on Christmas.

<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 Nurmagomedov’s early life</strong></h2>
<strong>Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov</strong> 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, <strong>Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov</strong>, was a decorated athlete and war veteran. Khabib has two siblings, an older brother named <strong>Muhammad Nurmagomedov</strong> and a younger sister named <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, <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> Khabib Nurmagomedov’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 Nurmagomedov’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 Nurmagomedov’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.

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> 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.

</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 Nurmagomedov’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 Nurmagomedov’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.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s charity and foundation</strong></h2>
After his dominant victory over Conor McGregor, Khabib traveled to Uganda to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.rt.com/sport/443728-khabib-charity-mission-nigeria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fix </a>13 wells so that people could have clean and safe drinking water.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s house</strong></h2>
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.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Khamzat Chimaev 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Khamzat Chimaev is a rising UFC star. 'Borz' made his presence felt in the UFC's welterweight and middleweight division ever since his UFC debut in July 2020 at Fight Island. The Russian-born 29-year-old fighter currently finds himself at #4 in the UFC's welterweight rankings.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Khamzat Chimaev Career Highlights</span></h2>
'<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khamzat-chimaev/">Borz</a>' made his smacking Octagon debut against John Phillips at UFC Fight Island 1. Khamzat Chimaev's UFC career started with a second-round win that saw him grab the Performance of the Night bonus.

Afterward, he took a fight on short notice and became a viral sensation and one of the best talents to come out from the initial Fight Island cards. Khamzat Chimaev's weight <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-IN/news/mma/ufc-fight-night-khamzat-chimaev-wins-two-fights-in-ten-days-in-different-weight-classes/1i1dmavd1f9fl16u2yj8aq1odd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class</a> was the talk of the town during his Fight Island stint.

Subsequently, the Russian-born MMA star set a record for one of the fastest <a href="https://www.ufc.com/news/fastest-turnarounds-ufc-history-godinez-chimaev-figueiredo-strickland-holland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turnarounds</a> and fought three times in a span of fewer than 70 days. He defeated Rhys McKee and Gerald Meerschaert in his next two Octagon appearances.

The viral sensation became a threat in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions after his spectacular performances. The UFC and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/">Dana White</a> were so high about him that they booked him against welterweight contender <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/leon-edwards/">Leon Edwards</a>. However, as Chimaev faced some medical <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-khamzat-chimaev-reveals-he-had-surgery-to-combat-covid-19-symptoms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issues</a>, he did not compete for around a year.

After a long layoff, Chimaev returned to the octagon against the #11 <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ranked</a> UFC welterweight contender Li Jingliang. K<span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">hamzat Chimaev vs Li Jingliang</span> took place on October 30, 2021, at UFC 267. 'Borz' put on a definitive performance and stamped his return with yet another first-round finish.

Khamzat Chimaev's next fight was against Gilbert Burns. Chimaev secured a decision victory to establish his dominance against an elite opponent. Next, he was going to face <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/"><strong>Nate Diaz</strong> </a>at UFC 279. However, due to a controversial weight miss, Chimaev ended up facing <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-holland/"><strong>Kevin Holland</strong></a>. The undefeated fighter defeated Holland via a first round submission. Later, 'Borz' move to the middleweight division was announced.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">What are Khamzat Chimaev's history and background?</span></h2>
The young, vibrant fighter with his wrestling roots uses a grappling-heavy game plan. His double legs have been a treat for the wrestling observers. In addition, the evolved handcuff grips, smooth back takes and heavy pressure from the top make the fighter a relentless force in the UFC.

Furthermore, 'Borz', who trains with a phenomenal striker in UFC light heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson, has fast hands and devastating power.

To go with his sound grappling technique and decent hands, he uses forward pressure and ground and pound to take out his opponents. Though 'Borz' has never gone to the judges' scorecard, his training regime has become a legendary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLsSr569coQ&amp;ab_channel=ChaelSonnen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tale</a>.

From displaying grappling clinics to securing one-punch KO (K<span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">hamzat Chimaev vs Gerald Meerschaert)</span>, that too in two weight divisions that are 15 lbs apart from each other, 'Borz' is on his way to becoming the next big thing in the UFC.

Khamzat Chimaev's record in his MMA career is <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Khamzat-Chimaev-280021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10-0-0</a>. 'Borz' holds the record for the quickest three-fight win streak in modern UFC history. In each of these three <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/767755fd74662dbf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fights</a>, he walked away with the 'Performance of the Night' bonus.

'Borz' won the UFC <a href="https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1501624129132191746?s=20&amp;t=WYSDKmZcoXXeFeS6earUXQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> of the year award for the year 2020. Also, in his return fight, he put on a show and received his fourth consecutive 'Performance of the Night' bonus. Thus, Khamzat Chimaev's UFC record stands at 4-0.

His accomplishments are not limited to UFC. A grappling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvSeiaLyaps&amp;ab_channel=MMAFocus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">match</a> (Khamzat Chimaev vs Jack Hermansson)?took place at Bulldog Fight Night 9.

Khamzat Chimaev

Khamzat Chimaev 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Khamzat Chimaev is a rising UFC star. &#8216;Borz&#8217; made his presence felt in the UFC&#8217;s welterweight and middleweight division ever since his UFC debut in July 2020 at Fight Island. The Russian-born 29-year-old fighter currently finds himself at #4 in the UFC&#8217;s welterweight rankings. Khamzat Chimaev Career Highlights &#8216;Borz&#8216; made his smacking Octagon debut against John Phillips at UFC Fight Island 1. Khamzat Chimaev&#8217;s UFC career started with a second-round win that saw him grab the Performance of the Night bonus. Afterward, he took a fight on short notice and became a viral sensation and one of the best talents to come out from the initial Fight Island cards. Khamzat Chimaev&#8217;s weight class was the talk of the town during his Fight Island stint. Subsequently, the Russian-born MMA star set a record for one of the fastest turnarounds and fought three times in a span of fewer than 70 days. He defeated Rhys McKee and Gerald Meerschaert in his next two Octagon appearances. ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES &#8211; OCTOBER 28: Khamzat Chimaev of Chechnya walks on stage during the UFC 267 press conference at Etihad Arena on October 28, 2021 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) The viral sensation became a threat in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions after his spectacular performances. The UFC and Dana White were so high about him that they booked him against welterweight contender Leon Edwards. However, as Chimaev faced some medical issues, he did not compete for around a year. After a long layoff, Chimaev returned to the octagon against the #11 ranked UFC welterweight contender Li Jingliang. Khamzat Chimaev vs Li Jingliang took place on October 30, 2021, at UFC 267. &#8216;Borz&#8217; put on a definitive performance and stamped his return with yet another first-round finish. Khamzat Chimaev&#8217;s next fight was against Gilbert Burns. Chimaev secured a decision victory to establish his dominance against an elite opponent. Next, he was going to face Nate Diaz at UFC 279.

Though &#8216;Borz&#8217; has never gone to the judges&#8217; scorecard, his training regime has become a legendary tale. From displaying grappling clinics to securing one-punch KO (Khamzat Chimaev vs Gerald Meerschaert), that too in two weight divisions that are 15 lbs apart from each other, &#8216;Borz&#8217; is on his way to becoming the next big thing in the UFC.
