Gokul Gopalakrishna Pillai is a Boxing Editor at EssentiallySports. Having spent four years in content creation, he uses his experience to lucidly convey the science behind boxing. Gokul's interest in the sport stemmed from his interest in classic Muhammad Ali bouts and claims Ali Vs. Foreman is the greatest boxing match ever. He loves Canelo Alvarez especially after his knockout victory over James Kirkland in the third round. The hard work that goes into each fight and the story behind it is what attracts him to boxing. When he isn't at work, you can find him being an armchair expert, spending his time watching films and reading books.

Martial artists are almost universally respected, including by other athletes. Cristiano Ronaldo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cristiano-ronaldo/], for example, is a huge fan of Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/], whose fights he woke up at 4 in the morning to watch. Not to mention him gifting Francis Ngannou [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/francis-ngannou/] a $134,00 watch last year when the UFC champion turned boxer and went to Saudi Arabia [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-soccer-news-cristiano-ronaldo-gifts-francis-ngannou-a-117000-luxury-sending-fans-into-a-frenzy-dana-crying-francis-making-it-super-big/] for his boxing debut against heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, which he lost by a one-point split decision. And Ronaldo was in attendance to witness it live. And it seems the Al-Nasr star is not the only football star who enjoys combat sports. Manchester City and Norway superstar Erling Haaland [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/erling-haaland/] recently posted pictures of him meeting Khabib Nurmagomedov and fans could not contain themselves. ERLING HAALAND MEETS KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV Erling Haaland seems to be making the most of the short break in the Premier League season. The Norwegian has started practice with the first team in Abu Dhabi, after recovering from a stubborn foot injury that has kept him out since the beginning of the year. And during his Abu Dhabi sojourn, Haaland bumped into former UFC lightweight champion and MMA icon Khabib Nurmagomedov. He posted a picture of him and Khabib and expressed pleasure at having met the legend. “Great to meet this legend here in Abu Dhabi,” Haaland wrote. However, the soccer star tagged the wrong account before correcting it, instead of Nurmagomedov’s official Instagram account, to the delight of fans. FANS REACT TO HAALAND MEETING ‘KHABIB’ Fans took to the comments section of Haaland’s account and proceeded to roast the mistake, as well as being delighted to see them together. One fan joked that Haaland had accidentally tagged diminutive Dagestani internet sensation, Hasbulla’s son: Bro tagged hasbullahs son Another felt Haaland would fire his social media person: Someone is getting fired today 💀 Another imagined being accidentally tagged by one of the greatest athletes in the world: Imagine being tagged randomly by haaland 💀 One fan urged them to wrestle: have a wrestle !!!!!

Fans react as Erling Haaland meets MMA icon Khabib Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi and accidentally tags the wrong Khabib in his Instagram post.

Hi, I am Kanishk and I am a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. I love telling the
stories of these magnificent fighters and this wildly unpredictable sport that
is so frustrating and yet so joyous at the same time. I never really used to
watch MMA, thinking it too crude or brutal a sport to deserve respect. But,
spurred by Joe Rogan, I started my journey to becoming an MMA fan. And once I
started watching, I was hooked. The drama- better than most movies, the
storylines- more gripping than the WWE, and the results- even more shocking. And
pretty soon, I found myself arguing with strangers on the internet over whether
Demetrious Johnson would beat Jon Jones if they were the same size, or if UFC 1
was actually fixed. I have taken that same passion and love for the sport to ES
and hope to share it with the readers. And the best part is that it's my job to
watch UFC events with fellow enthusiasts and write about it. I can interest you
in some MMA banter if you reach out to me at

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo: </strong><strong>Career, Achievements, </strong><strong>Net Worth in 2024, </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Personal Life</strong></h3>
Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his 'greatest of all time' status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d'Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand.

While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a>, and Juventus.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo's 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark.

The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's early life and his family</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo was born to José Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star.

Ronaldo only completed his schooling until the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-181688575 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-181688575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Manchester-United.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP's youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career</h2>
Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. On September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club's widely accepted golden era.

Ronaldo's tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records. However, his most acclaimed feat was when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-2008 season and secured a place on the best wingers in football history list. However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of €94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time.

Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo's second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7's foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League.

While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo's achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind. The Portuguese Forward won his first cup with Portugal in 2016 in the Euro Cup and then later in the 2018-19 National League Tournament.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All other success Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with Portugal's national team</h2>
Despite just a single piece of silverware at the Euros in 2016, Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances for his country. However, he has achieved quite a few personal milestones while playing for Portugal. He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-1669353865 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-1669353865" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1005420472h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---44368-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Recently, he became the only player to score at five consecutive FIFA World Cups. He has the peculiar record of being the oldest player to score at a FIFA World Cup. He also holds the record for scoring against the most national teams, throughout his career.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's club career and various achievements</h2>
Ronaldo has played for quite a few clubs throughout his career, namely Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. At the club level, the 38-year-old has won the Champions League five times. He has also won three Premier League titles, two La Liga titles, and two Serie A titles.

At club soccer, the mighty Ronaldo has scored 710 goals and 203 assists in 959 appearances. He is the all-time top scorer in Real Madrid history with 450 goals. At Manchester United, Ronaldo scored a total of 145 goals. At Juventus, he scored 81 goals. Currently, the soccer veteran is making a name for himself at Al-Nassr after scoring 30 goals in 36 games already including two hattricks.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All the off-field awards claimed by Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>
Keeping in mind his long-lasting legacy, Ronaldo has won the prestigious Ballon d'Or five times. He has won the trophy in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. Apart from that, he has won the best FIFA Men's Player of the Year on two occasions in 2016 and 2017. He was the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2464436611 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2464436611" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0026781936h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---18696-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
He has won the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2015. Ronaldo won the Premier League Player of the Season in 2007 and 2008. Similarly, he won La Liga's best player award after the 2013-14 season. Serie A crowned the soccer veteran the Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020. Additionally, he won the Premier League Golden Boot for his prime 2007-08 season at Manchester United. As he entered a new chapter of his career with Al-Nassr, Ronaldo cemented another milestone by taking home the Maradona Award for Best Goal Scorer owing to his 54 goals throughout the year.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend and kids</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo met his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez in 2016. The two of them met at a Gucci store. At that time, Georgina was a salesgirl at a Gucci store in Madrid. Seemingly, there was a spark between the two of them immediately. They then met again at a Dolce and Gabbana event, a few days later. The rest was history.

The next year, they announced the birth of their baby daughter, Alana. Several years later, the celebrity couple announced that they were expecting twins. However, one of them tragically passed away shortly after birth. In <em>I Am Georgina</em>: Season Two, Georgina described that time as the worst moment of her life.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-665263784 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-665263784" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0202849919h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---31819-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Prior to meeting Rodriguez, the soccer veteran already had three children. The first one of them is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. He was born on June 17, 2010, in America. The mighty Ronaldo has still kept the mother's identity a mystery after gaining full custody of his child.

In 2017, Ronaldo fathered twins in the United States via a surrogate mother with the twins reportedly named, Eva and Matteo. In 2017, he had his first child with Georgina Rodriguez, a girl named Alana Martina. Later in 2021, the couple announced they were pregnant with twins. However, Ronaldo and Rodriguez bore the loss of losing a child while also welcoming another in 2022, a girl named Bella.

As of now, the Portuguese soccer legend has not announced anything regarding marriage. Once, during a conversation with Piers Morgan, he mentioned that he wasn't thinking about it. Technically, Ronaldo is breaking the law in Saudi Arabia. In the territory, it was illegal to live under the same roof if not married.

However, reports then suggested that the authorities in Saudi Arabia have turned a blind eye in this case, despite him being a top Al-Nassr player considering Cristiano Ronaldo is a foreigner.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's foundations and charity</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo supports the likes of UNICEF, Save the Children, AIDS Still Required, World Vision, and Cahonas Scotland among others. His most famous act of donation was when he raised $83,000 from his soccer boots and jersey for the operation of a 10-month-old baby.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Erling Haaland: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Achievements</b></h2>
Erling Braut Haaland is one of the most feared strikers in the world. Born on 21 July 2000, the 23-year-old soccer player has turned the tide and become a prolific goal-scorer in the last few years. He plays for Norway's national team and English Premier League club Manchester City.

From today's generation, Erling Haaland is possibly one of the greatest soccer players ever to exist. The Norwegian striker can bang in goals from each and every angle. At every club, every season, Haaland has managed to keep up his goal-scoring form. The 23-year-old is currently at Manchester City in the English Premier League.

In his first season in the EPL itself, he scored the most goals in the league and went on to win it too! In such a short span of time, Haaland has turned from the Norwegian wonder kid to one of the best strikers in the world.

[caption id="attachment_2302317" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2302317 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-10-29T151840Z_1287550520_UP1EJAT16J2SH_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND-MUN-MCI-REPORT.jpg" alt="Erling Haaland" width="1920" height="1280" /> Soccer Football - Premier League - Manchester United v Manchester City - Old Trafford, Manchester, Britain - October 29, 2023 Manchester City's Erling Braut Haaland during the warm up before the match REUTERS/Molly Darlington NO USE WITH UNAUTHORIZED AUDIO, VIDEO, DATA, FIXTURE LISTS, CLUB/LEAGUE LOGOS OR 'LIVE' SERVICES.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's Net worth 2024, salary, and endorsements</h2>
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Erling Haaland's net worth is $40 million. Those earnings are set to reach $46 million with other bonuses and clauses. He receives another $12 million from off-field earnings. At the Etihad, the striker is only behind Kevin De Bruyne on the payroll list. His current salary at Manchester City is $474,952 per week which amounts to a base salary of $24 million. Other than that, he reportedly made an additional $4 million from his endorsement deals. Currently, he endorses brands like Samsung, Viaplay, and Hyperice.

But that value is expected to skyrocket in the near future. Already in March 2023, he signed a $24 million deal per year with Nike. While Adidas and Puma were eyeing his signature, the striker decided to continue his eight-year association with Nike. As his stock was on the rise, Nike was quick to realize the potential and latched him onto a contract.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Early life</h2>
On July 21, 2000, Erling Haaland was born to Alfie Haaland and Gry Marita. He has an elder brother, Astor Haaland, and a younger sister named Gabrielle Haaland.

Interestingly, he was born in Leeds as his father played for Leeds United at that time. But in 2004, his family moved back to Bryne in Norway. The lethal striker was a sports enthusiast from the very beginning. He enjoyed playing several sports like golf, handball, and many more. But as time passed, he discovered his passion for the beautiful game.

At the age of just five, he joined his local soccer academy in Bryne. After that, it was just onward and upwards for the soccer star!
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's club career</h2>
Haaland first represented his hometown club Bryne in the 2015-16 season. Before making his senior debut, he played quite a while for the reserves. During that spell, he impressed the manager by scoring 18 goals in just 14 games. He made his actual debut on the senior team just months before his 16th birthday.

Eventually, the soccer universe got to know about the unbelievable talent hiding in Norway. Before going anywhere overseas, he played for Molde. That's where he met <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a> legend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He took some time off to adjust to the higher level. Haaland only scored 4 goals from 20 appearances during his first season.

But the lethal striker never looked back after that. He finished the 2018 season as the club's top-scorer with 16 goals. And that was it, his time playing local soccer had come to an end. Before the 2018 season, he signed a five-year deal with Red Bull Salzburg, in Austria. During his brief spell in Austria, the Norwegian lit the soccer universe on fire.

In just 27 games, he scored 5 hat tricks for the club. In the UEFA Champions League, he became only the second teenager after <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/karim-benzema/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Karim Benzema</a> to score in each of his first three appearances. He then became the first teenager to score in five consecutive games in the competition. <span style="font-weight: 400">At Salzburg, he made 27 appearances and scored 29 goals</span>. Shockingly, 28 of these goals came in only 22 games.

[caption id="attachment_770139" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-770139 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/haaland-1.jpg" alt="Erling Haaland" width="1920" height="1302" /> Soccer Football - Champions League - Group C - Besiktas v Borussia Dortmund - Vodafone Park, Istanbul, Turkey - September 15, 2021 Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland as the teams line up before the match REUTERS/Murad Sezer TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY[/caption]

He then spent the next two-and-a-half seasons at Borussia Dortmund. In December 2019, the German soccer club signed him on a four-and-a-half-year deal. Before COVID hit the soccer universe, Haaland became the first player in Bundesliga history to score seven goals in their first three games. By the 2020-21 season had ended, he had scored 41 goals of which 27 were in the league.

The fans mass-voted him as the Bundesliga Player of the Season. His final season in Germany was heavily impacted by injuries. He suffered a hip flexor injury and couldn't play for a minimum of two months. He ended his tenure in Germany with 86 goals in 89 appearances.

Finally, he came to Manchester City. In May 2022, Manchester City announced the arrival of the lethal striker in England. He started his tenure in the Premier League with a bang. During his debut game, he banged in two goals against West Ham. After that, it was just MAYHEM!

Haaland broke Michael Owen's 48-league games record by scoring three hat tricks in just eight games. By December, he had already reached 25 Premier League goals. The Norwegian had easily surpassed the previous season's goal tallies of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mohamed-salah/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Mohamed Salah</a> and Son Heung-min.

In March, he became only the third-ever player to score five goals in a Champions League game. The other two are <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lionel-messi/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> and Luiz Adriano. In April 2023, he scored his 50 goals of the season across all competitions. Currently, with just a game left in the UEFA Champions League, he has scored 52 goals in 52 games. In 71 games for the Cityzens, Haaland scored 69 goals.

During his first season in England, Haaland has already won the English Premier League and the FA Cup.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's journey with his national team Norway</h2>
Haaland represented Norway for the first time at the U15 level in September 2015. Years later, he scored nine goals in a single game against Honduras for the Norway U20s. Due to that performance, he won the Golden Boot at the U20 World Cup.

He then made his senior debut for Norway on August 28, 2019. Despite being eligible to represent England, the lethal striker's heart was always in Norway. During the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League B, he scored six goals in six games.

But his country, unfortunately, couldn't get through to the World Cup. Out of the ten qualifiers, the Norwegian played only six of them. Despite banging in goals, his country paid the price after winning just one game out of the final four qualifiers. In 28 games, Haaland scored 27 goals for Norway.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's various soccer achievements</h2>
The striker achieved tremendous success with Manchester City in his debut season. He won the treble by lifting the three critical points of success: the English Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup. Moreover, he finished second to Lionel Messi in the FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year award after scoring 52 goals.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's girlfriend and personal life</h2>
Haaland is currently dating 19-year-old Isabel Haugseng Johansen. She also used to be a soccer player in Bryne, Norway. Haaland's better half seemingly prefers keeping her life lowkey. Currently, she is living with the lethal striker in the Northern Quarter.

The two of them reportedly met each other during their childhood days. At one point, both of them played for the same soccer club in Norway. But the two of them only started dating after Haaland went to Germany. Sources around them have claimed that they are in a very serious relationship.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1769327 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Erling-Haaland-Isabel-Johansen.jpeg" alt="Erling Haaland" width="1390" height="869" />
<div class="jsx-1883686743">

The two of them do not make a lot of appearances in public. During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, they went on a vacation to Spain. There they resided at the striker's holiday villa in Marbella. On New Year's Eve, the two of them were dining at the Ivy, in Manchester.

Most recently, the two of them together attended Manchester City's after-party. The blue side of Manchester had managed to win the league title for the fifth time in six years. Both of them turned up in sky-blue nylon-ish attire. Haaland sported a sky-blue shirt and pajamas while his better half wore a sky-blue dress for the party.

The couple made an appearance at the Ballon d'Or awards along with Isabel. She wore a sparkling dress while Haaland looked sharp in a suit.

<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 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.
