Undefeated Russian UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov said that the team leader Khabiba Nurmagomedova who left the MMA industry, will now become Islam Makhachev .
– Now this responsibility lies with Islam Makhachev. Since he is the UFC champion, he will now assume leadership of the team. It is his burden. In fact, Khabib is a rather tough mentor, he does not forgive absenteeism – you need to train stably, but the team is already made up of professionals, everyone is playing at the highest level and no one has need to be chased out of the woods. Everyone knows what they want, what they want to do, and therefore everything is preserved in the team. The only thing is that Khabib will spend more time at home, take care of himself and his family,” Umar Nurmagomedov told Sport24.
Islam Makhachev has had 24 fights in MMA and won 23. On February 11, he will defend his UFC lightweight title against Australian Alex Volkanovski.
