Russian MMA fighter Vyacheslav Vasilievsky expressed confidence that former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is capable of becoming a great coach.
Nurmagomedov won 13 out of 13 UFC fights, became the lightweight champion and retired in 2020. Last Friday, the athlete turned 36. In total, he fought 29 professional fights during his career, in which he won 29 times.
– As you can see, he is already moving towards this (coaching). Usman is the champion, Umar is close to it, they are at the top and winning. I think Khabib has absorbed a lot from Abdulmanap during his development as an athlete. A real coach is not just the one who gives the right tasks during training. It is a way of life and thinking.
You can talk to a real coach for five minutes and immediately become more confident and see many things differently. Abdulmanap treated me well and highly appreciated my work in jacket fights and sambo combat. It was clear that he lives in martial arts, ”Vasilevsky told RB Sport.
Live broadcasts of mixed martial arts tournaments can be seen on and Match! Fighter, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
