Abdulmanap was 57.
My sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Nurmagomedov family and team during this terrible tragedy.#UFC pic.twitter.com/pHQR6d51Qc
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov was a wrestling and sambo expert, who taught his son all he knew. Abdulmanap was Khabib’s long-time trainer, helping him to a 28-0 record in UFC and the lightweight championship.
You can see the joy in Khabib whenever he talks about his father.

Without Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, Khabib would've retired from MMA a long time ago when he kept getting injured and kept doing surgeries. #UFC pic.twitter.com/RhjRoVSdV5
Abdulmanap Hospitalized Since April
Abdulmanap died due to brain injuries caused by a stroke while fighting COVID-19. He suffered a heart attack in May and was a in a coma. Khabib told RT on June 23 that his father no longer had COVID-19 but his “condition is still serious."
Abdulmanap was not the only member of Khabib's family that died due to COVID-19.
RIP Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and thank you for your contribution to combat sports.
Khabib's Next Fight
Khabib vs Gaethje fitght is still on, but Khabib will have much tougher time to beat one of the best punchers in lightweight UFC division. Let's hope his fight will not be postponed due to COVID again. Khabib already abstained from fighting Ferguson earlier this year.
