Umar Nurmagomedov named the new team leader Khabib
Undefeated Russian UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov said that the leader of the team of Khabib Nurmagomedov, who left the MMA industry, will now be Islam Makhachev.
– Now this responsibility falls on Islam Makhachev. Since he is the UFC champion, now he will carry the leadership in the team. This is his burden. Khabib is actually a rather tough mentor, he does not forgive absenteeism – you have to train stably, but the team is already all professionals, everyone performs at the highest level, and there is no one who needs to be driven out of the woods. Everyone knows what he wants, what he is going for, 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 had 24 fights in MMA and won 23 victories. On February 11, he will defend his UFC lightweight title against Australian Alex Volkanovski.
