Russian Supremo Vladmir Putin Once Promised Khabib ‘Best’ Treatment While His Father Was Fighting for His Life

The UFC recently inducted Khabib Nurmagomedov into the Hall of Fame for his contribution to the sport. The Dagestani fighter has accomplished great things both inside and outside the octagon. Nurmagomedov’s father, Abdulmanap, was his biggest supporter throughout his career. Let us look back at the time when Russian President Vladimir Putin promised the “best treatment” to Abdulmanap while he was admitted to a hospital.

Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s relationship with his father is very strong, to say the least. The world was shocked when it was revealed that he was admitted to a hospital in Moscow after being infected with COVID-19. Nurmagomedov’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, confirmed this news on ESPN.

Abdelaziz said, “Khabib has been in contact with Vladimir Putin over the last several days, and he has promised Khabib’s father will receive the best medical treatment available.” He added, “Khabib’s No 1 message to people around the world right now is to stay at home, to prevent the spread of coronavirus.”

Abdelaziz also spoke to MMA fighting regarding this unfortunate situation. He said, “The president reached out to him (Khabib) a couple of times…It makes us a little bit at ease, but everything’s in Allah’s hands.” Unfortunately for Nurmagomedov, his father passed away only a few months later in July due to COVID-19 complications.
