How Did Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Father Die?
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov died in July 2020. On July 3, Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, said that the fighter’s father died in Moscow, where he had been hospitalized since May. He was 57 years old at time of death.
Abdulmanap was diagnosed with COVID-19 while in the hospital and later underwent heart surgery for a pre-existing condition which was exacerbated by the virus. After his father’s death, undefeated UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement.
After defeating Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, Nurmagomedov announced he was stepping away from the ring in the wake of his father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s death. The Russian fighter said:
“Today, this was my last fight. Ain’t no way I’m going to come here without my father. It was my first time after what happened with my father,” he continued. “When UFC called me about Justin, I talk with my mother three days. She don’t (want me) go fight without father but I promise her it’s gonna be my last fight, and if I give my word I have to follow this. It was my last fight here.”
In a statement to media following the fighter’s retirement, UFC President Dana White said, “He is one of the toughest human beings on the planet.”
