Khabib Nurmagomedov was born and raised in Dagestan in the former Soviet Union. His father was a competitive wrestler and encouraged his children to wrestle as well. Khabib began competing in amateur tournaments as a teenager and eventually joined the Russian Army as a part of their wrestling team. He continued to compete and win tournaments while serving in the Army and was eventually offered a professional contract by the UFC. He made his UFC debut in 2012 and has since gone on to become the UFC Lightweight Champion.<\/p>\n

Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from MMA following his submission victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. In his post-fight interview, Khabib stated that he had promised his mother that it would be his final fight. Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, was a decorated military veteran, and Khabib had considered joining the Russian Army before embarking on his MMA career.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to see Khabib Nurmagomedov sign with FC Legion Dynamo. I think it’s a great move for him and I’m excited to see what he can do with the team. I think he has a lot of potential and I’m looking forward to seeing him play.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov is a Dagestani-Russian mixed martial artist and promoter. He is the first Muslim to win a UFC title, and is the most-followed Russian on Instagram, with over 34 million followers as of December 2022. He is also known for promoting the Eagle Fighting Championship (EFC).<\/p>\n
