During an interview, a young boy came up to ask a question to the former lightweight champion. Khabib Nurmagomedov was already amused when the boy revealed that he was only 8 years old. The boy said his name was “Yahya” and he asked Khabib what are his three favourite things to do in life. However, Khabib wanted the conversation to go in a different direction. He asked in his usual broken English, “You say your name is Yahya… why your name is Yahya”?

Surprisingly the boy quickly replied,” Because I’m named after The Prophet”. A devout Muslim, Khabib appeared highly impressed with the young boy. Khabib decided to give the boy a quick insight into the teachings of the Holy Quran. He said, “Know your name Allah mention your name in the Quran you know this? ” The young boy seemingly already knew most of what Khabib was saying. He revealed that he learned this from his parents. ” They told you this?… Your parents are good people,” Khabib said.
