Khabib Nurmagomedov was recently almost attacked by a fan. While ‘The Eagle’ was walking through a passage, a fan tried to break the security barrier running towards the Russian. Nurmagomedov was surprisingly limping on the clip as well. What exactly happened in the lobby incident needs more clarification.
The former UFC lightweight champion is currently enjoying retirement. But, he remains one of the biggest fan favorites. But clearly, not everyone is an admirer of him. While the actions of the fan who tried to attack him are highly questionable, this goes to show that even UFC fighters need to be under security supervision, especially the biggest stars.

The Dagestani retired with an incredible 29-0 record after defeating Justin Gaethje at UFC 254.
Fans wanted to see him fight more. However, losing his father Abdulmanap because of coronavirus played a pivotal role in his decision. Khabib wanted to spend more time with his family. So, he decided to retire.
