Khabib Nurmagomedov’s dad Abdulmanap dies aged 57

The news has emerged this morning that Abdulmanap tragically lost his life after battling with coronavirus over the last few weeks.

Nurmagomedov, 57, has died after recovering from a stroke and spending time in intensive care.

Abdulmanap, who is considered a legendary coach across several MMA disciplines, had suffered a stroke after contracting coronavirus back in May. He subsequently underwent heart bypass surgery and was placed in an induced coma, and had remained in a critical condition after waking.

Not only was he Khabib’s father, he was also his coach, so the news came as a tragic blow and loss to the lightweight champion and the rest of his family and working team.
