However, even though ‘The Eagle’ has retired, he still remains one of the most talked-about fighters in MMA. Recently Nurmagomedov appeared for an interview where he was asked about his nightclub experience and whether he goes to clubs on Friday nights.

Nurmagomedov quickly responded to the question and silenced the journalist with his answer. He said, “When was the last time I went to a nightclub on a Friday? We associate Friday with something else, with the mosque, not nightclubs. I don’t go to clubs.”

“And the rest day, my friends always blame me for not having any rest. Not so long ago, my cousin Usman was planning to go on vacation. But I talked to him and he realized it was too early for him to rest.”
