Footage has emerged, appearing to show former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov less than amused as a drone flys and films in his face while he shadow boxes, before punching the equipment out of the air onto the mats of American Kickboxing Academy.
Khabib, a former undisputed lightweight champion under the UFC banner, called time on his professional mixed martial arts career and active competition back in October of 2020 after UFC 254, defeating Justin Gaethje to unify the division championships.
In the time since, the 29-0 Dagestani grappler has turned his hand to promoting as he heads up Eagle FC which has since located its home base in Florida, while he has also taken a prominent role as a head coach at native gym, American Kickboxing Academy.
Practising shadow boxing on the mats of the San Jose, California facility – Khabib’s routine appears to be interrupted by the presence of a flying drone, which he initially avoids, before firing off a straight right hand – sending the drone across the gym and into a crash mat on the wall.
Ending his Octagon tenure officially at the beginning of last year, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was recently inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame as part of the promotion’s Modern Wing era, managed to secure a trio of successful title defenses over former division champions, Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Gaethje during his year and a half reign atop the weight class.
As mentioned above, Khabib Nurmagomedov has since taken on a senior coaching role alongside Javier Mendez at AKA, and the duo will look to land a second lightweight championship for the San Jose facility in October, as Khabib guides his compatriot and teammate, Islam Makhachev into a daunting vacant championship battle against former titleholder, Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 on ‘Fight Island’.
Former undisputed UFC lightweight titleholder turned promoter, Khabib Nurmagomedov has confirmed he will not partner with betting sites and bookmakers whilst he heads up Eagle FC, explaining how they “ruin entire families” despite the large sums of money they offer in sponsorship. Khabib, a former undisputed lightweight champion, retired from professional mixed martial arts competition […]
Former undisputed UFC lightweight titleholder turned promoter, Khabib Nurmagomedov has confirmed he will not partner with betting sites and bookmakers whilst he heads up Eagle FC, explaining how they “ruin entire families” despite the large sums of money they offer in sponsorship.
Khabib, a former undisputed lightweight champion, retired from professional mixed martial arts competition back in October 2020 following UFC 254, where he submitted then-interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje to successfully unify the titles.
Citing the then-recent passing of his father and trainer, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov as the driving force behind his decision to hang up his gloves, Khabib walked away from the Octagon as the undisputed lightweight champion, boasting an unbeaten 29-0 professional record.
Acquiring Russian promotion, Eagle FC in his time away from active competition, Khabib has since set up base for the organization in Florida – fielding the likes of former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Junior dos Santos, as well as former UFC lightweight title challengers, Kevin Lee, and Diego Sanchez recently.
Commenting on his refusal to promote and partner with bookmakers and betting outlets, the Dagestan grappler explained his dislike for gambling – despite the lucrative deals presented to partner with bookmakers.
“We have plenty of good sponsors that we work with and put on events,” Khabib Nurmagomedov said on the official Eagle FC YouTube channel. “We don’t need bookmakers. I believe that gambling is more dangerous than alcohol.”
“I think it’s worse to advertise gambling more than alcohol,” Khabib Nurmagomedov continued. “Bookmakers ruin entire families.”
Ending his UFC lightweight title reign after relinquishing the title at the turn of 2021, Khabib successfully landed a trio of title defenses against former division gold holders, Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and the previously mentioned, Gaethje.
Taking a lead role in coaching at American Kickboxing Academy furthermore, Khabib is set for the most testing assignment to date as a coach – as he prepares teammate, Islam Makhachev for a vacant title affair against Brazilian phenom, Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 in October.
UFC’s President Dana White has recently revealed why he does not consider Khabib Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA) the best UFC athlete of all time. Nurmagomedov retired back in 2020 with an undefeated record, after defending his Lightweight belt for a third-consecutive time against Justin Gaethje. ‘The Eagle’ was also able to pick up impressive wins against […]
UFC’s President Dana White has recently revealed why he does not consider Khabib Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA) the best UFC athlete of all time.
Nurmagomedov retired back in 2020 with an undefeated record, after defending his Lightweight belt for a third-consecutive time against Justin Gaethje.
‘The Eagle’ was also able to pick up impressive wins against Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier and Rafael Dos Anjos during his UFC career – who are all former Champions. However, the main critique for most people regarding Khabib Nurmagomedov’s legacy is the level of fighters he faced before 2014.
During a recent interview with ‘GQ Sports’, Dana White was given the chance to set the record straight and explain why he doesn’t believe Nurmagomedov is not the all-time best.
“It’s so hard,” White uttered. “Obviously, he is talented enough. You know, who knows what he could accomplish? But he retired too early. I mean Jon Jones is probably gonna fight at heavyweight this year. You know, whatever you think about Jon, it’s hard not to call him a G.O.A.T.”
“Believe me when I tell you, I have tried to convince Khabib to come out of retirement. We will see what happens over the next couple of years. But I feel like he left in his prime. I mean, look at what he did to Justin Gaethje right before he retired.”
Is Khabib the UFC GOAT?

When asked to devise a list of whom his personal Top-5 fighters of all time are, Dana White was lost for space to put the former Lightweight Champion.
“Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, GSP. There’s so many other people that should be on there. Usman should be on there.”
Jon Jones, Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre are usual suspects when it comes to this sort of list, but Kamaru Usman, Conor McGregor, and Ronda Rousey are the more surprising picks. Nevertheless, in regards to what they have done for the sport, you can understand the reasoning behind White’s choices.
