Popular MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov is a famous Russian boxer who has competed under the auspices of the UFC. During his career, he has fought 29 professional fights, all of them victorious. In October 2020, Khabib scored another convincing victory over his opponent Justin Gagey, after which… he announced the end of his career. More than a year has passed since then, but Khabib has remained true to himself. The decision to leave the world of boxing and devote himself to business was not an emotional outburst as at first thought by the athlete’s fans.

Now Khabib Nurmagomedov is actively engaged in promoting his own business projects. Recently, former UFC champion gave a detailed interview in UFC Russia office and told what he is doing after retirement and what plans he has for the future.

According to Khabib, he has managed to rearrange himself completely from the sporting mode to the daily routine. From time to time he attends trainings of his teammates from the club, sometimes he trains by himself. But most of the time he spends on developing his own business. The boxer admits that he really misses his sporting career and the competition that prevailed in the ring. He misses some competitive moments in everyday life but he has no regrets about giving up his boxing career. Khabib considers himself a self-sufficient and accomplished man with a rich inner world and plenty of new ideas. In interviews he admits that he was able to achieve his main goal in sports – to get the champion’s belt. However, that victory did not bring him the satisfaction and emotional payoff he expected.

Speaking to UFC Russia, Khabib Nurmagomedov emphasized that he wants to help his friends in their career advancement. The people who have been by his side while he was reaching the heights of sport are very important to the athlete. Now he aims to help them, and, of course, not to forget about his own values – family, friends and children.

Khabib admitted that he does not see himself as a coach for novice boxers. But he is engaged in mentoring with great pleasure. Periodically Khabib Nurmagomedov attends trainings at his club and works with youth. His retirement from professional boxing was a kind of release from imprisonment for him. Khabib used to devote all his free time to training and rest afterwards. The intense sporting regimen did not allow him to relax, because this immediately set him back – without the right to become a champion. Now the boxer feels much freer and can devote more time to his dreams, family and friends. Khabib tries to devote more time to his children and says it is not easy to raise them. But there is a desire to raise their offspring as decent people, and this is the most important thing.

For Khabib Nurmagomedov personal example plays a big role in upbringing of his heirs. He is used to being the best not only in sports but also in family, so he tries to give his children more time, often taking them with him on business trips, trips and vacations.
