Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn’t want his son to become a professional athlete

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said he didn’t want his son to follow in his footsteps and become a professional athlete.

“I don’t know what my son will do, but I’m sure he will train, study, whether he will become a professional athlete – I don’t know.” He asks a lot of questions. A few weeks ago he asked: “Father, can you fight like Islam Makhachev?” Because he’s a very good fighter, I’ve never seen you fight like him. I said, “Good question. » When I was still playing, he would bother me with questions about fighting.

Honestly, I don’t want him to become a professional athlete. But he can make his own choice, I will not limit him. I want him to be a regular person. It seems to me that professional athletes are not ordinary people,” Nurmagomedov said as quoted by MMA Junkie.

Nurmagomedov announced his retirement in October 2020 after defeating American Justin Gaethje. He fought 29 fights and won 29 victories.
