Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, father of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, is set to open up a massive new mixed martial arts (MMA) gym in Dagestan.

Abdulmanap showed the facility off in a new video from RT Sport. You can check out the tour of the new gym below. Abdulmanap is the mastermind behind the success of his son, Khabib, who is undefeated in his MMA career. Khabib is one of the most dominant champions the sport of MMA has ever seen. He comes off a successful title defense in Abu Dhabi in which he submitted Dustin Poirier via rear-naked choke.

Now, Khabib is expected to face off against Tony Ferguson for his next title defense in Brooklyn come April. It’s a fight that MMA fans have been looking forward to for several years now. Pending both men make it to fight night healthy, it should deliver on the hype.

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father and trainer Abdulmanap believes a potential bout with Tony Ferguson is a “dream fight” for all fans of mixed martial arts.

Per UFC president Dana White, the lightweight title fight is expected to headline the UFC’s return to Brooklyn, New York on April 18. The fight is not confirmed yet, but Nurmagomedov has signed his part of the contract according to his manager Ali Abdelaziz.

And the senior Nurmagomedov is one that is particularly excited for the matchup should it finally come to fruition:

“We have signed a contract and are moving towards the goal to become the best regardless of the weight category,” he wrote in an Instagram post (translation via BJ Penn). “And this battle is more than ever to become the best. Both are on a collision course, and I want to say that the UFC never met fighters for both so that there were 12 consecutive wins.

“I call it a dream fight for all fans of mixed martial arts. We will do everything in our power to bring victory to our fans and Russia, and the result is for the Almighty.”

Nurmagomedov and Ferguson have been previously booked to face each other four times, with the fight falling through on all four occasions. However, it’s a bout that needs to happen given how dominant both fighters have been in the 155-pound division.

Hopefully, fans get to see it in 2020.
