Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father in medically induced coma – Putin involved
Things have taken a turn for the worst for Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, father and mentor to UFC champ Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is now in a coma once again, enticing the involvement of the Russian head of state.
It’s been a tough year for undefeated, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. So far he has not yet competed, and ended up having to withdraw from his much-anticipated title defence against Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. The event was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which now seems to have affected Nurmagomedov deeply.
The undefeated lightweight recently revealed that Covid-19 was behind, amongst other personal issues, his father Abdulmanap’s illness. The Nurmagomedov father, who has mentored Khabib since a young age, was hospitalised earlier this month and is now in a medically induced coma following surgery. Originally the UFC champ’s father went to the hospital due to heart issues, but apparently his condition has been gravely worsened due to Covid-19.
