Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, father and coach of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, was hospitalized last month with a serious heart condition. According to reports, Abdulmanap underwent surgery on his heart due to complications from a previous ailment, triggered by the coronavirus. However, there appears to finally be good news on the horizon: according to Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, though the situation remains serious, the elder Nurmagomedov is currently in a hospital in Moscow and is improving.
“Khabib is very strong, his family is very strong and his father is very strong,” Abdelaziz told ESPN.
