Khabib Nurmagomedov may not compete anymore, but that doesn’t stop him from doing damage on the mats.
After retiring as the undefeated UFC lightweight world champion in 2020, ‘The Eagle’ has established himself as one of the top coaches in mixed martial arts, paving the way for proteges like Islam Makhachev and his cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov, to claim gold for themselves.
While Makhachev looks to etch his name in the history books this Saturday at UFC 322, Usman recently traded in his Bellator lightweight title for a PFL belt, defeating Paul Hughes in one of the promotion’s most anticipated rematches to date.
