In his career, Khabib Nurmagomedov was influenced by several people, all of whom contributed to his historic UFC run and 29-0 record before his retirement. But it’s difficult to think of someone who had a greater influence than his father. The former lightweight champion broke down in tears on Thursday while paying emotional homage to his father Abdulmanap, who tragically passed away nearly precisely two years ago as a result of difficulties brought on by COVID-19.
