The absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov from the world of mixed martial arts has left fans longing for the dominant Russian fighter. The former UFC champion retired after his fight against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Having been undefeated in his perfect career, Nurmagomedov walked away with a flawless record of 29-0.

Just as the fans were trying to digest his retirement, Nurmagomedov dropped another bomb at the end of last year. The 34-year-old announced that he would be moving away completely from the world of fighting to give more time to his family. This meant no training, no coaching and no public appearances for the ‘Eagle’. However, in a heartwarming turn of events for fight enthusiasts, Nurmagomedov has been spotted back at the renowned American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) gym.

AKA has served as his training home for many years and was instrumental in shaping his successful career. A few days ago, the Instagram page of AKA gym posted a picture with Nurmagomedov, his coach Javier Mendez, and fellow UFC legend Cain Velasquez. Recently, yet another glimpse of Nurmagomedov in the AKA gym has excited fans.
