The five-year-old son of UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov already has over a year and a half of wrestling experience under his belt.
Nurmagomedov, 34, retired from fighting last March and has since launched his own MMA promotion, Eagle FC. 'The Eagle' has three children; one daughter and two sons, with the youngest being born just months after the penultimate win of his UFC career against Dustin Poirier in 2019.
In a recent interview after the latest Eagle FC event, Nurmagomedov revealed his son started out in wrestling even earlier than he did. "He started walking on the mat because we have a gym at home, my son is already training and doing gymnastics. He has a good coach that I trust, he already trains in Makhachkala. He started earlier than I did, at 3 and a half years old. I'll be his wrestling coach," Nurmagomedov said.
