Khabib Nurmagomedov is hit by health issues in his family yet again. Earlier, RT sports reported the Dagestani fighter’s father moved to Moscow. The development came just weeks after he was admitted to a hospital in Makhachkala. At the time, the Nurmagomedov patriarch said, “I feel great. Everything is fine with me.”
Unfortunately, this is not the case with Nurmagomedov Sr. as the medical staff placed him in a coma. This is a result of complications following his recovery from pneumonia. However, he is in critical condition and the thoughts and prayers of the world will be with his family.
The undefeated champion has received wishes and prayers from big names in the MMA world as well as other sporting personalities.
