It was recently revealed that Khabib Nurmagomedov would be taking another step away from his career in MMA. Umar Nurmagomedov, Kahbib’s cousin, offered further details into this recent news.
Dagestan’s Umar Nurmagomedov is an undefeated UFC fighter who is coached by Khabib. Khabib vacated his UFC lightweight title and retired a few years ago. Since then he began coaching more actively and running Eagle FC. But recently, news came out that he will soon be even further away from MMA.
Umar Nurmagomedov is booked against Raoni Barcelos upcoming on January 14 at a UFC Fight Night event. During a press interview, the Dagestani athlete Umar told Aaron Bronster:
“I don’t think [Khabib Nurmagomedov] can stop, he will still control me and my brother, some other guys, but not the same (way), he doesn’t want to travel, doesn’t want to come to camps and stay with us for a couple of months. I’m not surprised, we knew and we talked about this. We talked, he gave me advice on the fight, cut weight. Everything the same he just stopped, too many flights… I think it will be the same, we will be training together in Dagestan. Nothing changes we (are) brothers.”
From the sounds of it, Khabib Nurmagomedov will remain active in the gym with his fellow fighters but is reducing the amount he is traveling to spend more time with family. Umar continued:
“He will not travel too much and will take care of himself, his family, his mother. This is very hard, traveling too much, cornering everybody, this is not easy. That is why he made the decision and I’m happy for him… I don’t think he can stop, he will still control me and my brother, some other guys, but not the same (way), he doesn’t want to travel, doesn’t want to come to camps and stay with us for a couple of months.” [Transcript courtesy of BJ Penn]

MMA Analyst Chael Sonnen believes it’s possible that lightweight champion Islam Makhachev could retire from mixed martial arts after his title fight at UFC 284.
The former UFC title contender said that Makhachev could join Khabib Nurmagomedov in retirement. Nurmagomedov retired from in-ring competition after his title fight against Justin Gaethje in Oct.2020 at UFC 254. He had shifted his focus to training the younger generation but recently announced his intention to retire from coaching.
During a recent video on his YouTube channel, Sonnen discussed Nurmagomedov’s coaching retirement and how that could play into Makhachev’s possible MMA departure.
“I don’t know how much Islam needs Khabib. I know that Khabib needed his father. That’s a sensitive topic. I’m not trying to go too far down that road, but this was made public in front of us, and the way that Khabib dealt with that, whether we like it or not, we can look back. The story is the same. ‘I have an obligation. I have already committed to something. I’m going to see that through and as soon as I do, I’m done’. Is that how Islam feels?”
“If Islam’s got an obligation, he’s going to go out there and he’s going to see it through. And when that match is over… It’s a big speculation by me. Hell of a speculation, but I’m just asking the question. I don’t have answers to this.” (h/t Middle Easy)
Nurmagomedov has not made an official statement on whether or not he’ll be in Makhachev’s corner next month in Perth, Australia. Eagle FC CEO Rizvan Magomedov recently claimed that the former champion will likely miss UFC 284.
Makhachev is scheduled to face UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski on Feb. 12 at the RAC Arena. With a win, he would retain his title and claim the #1 pound-for-pound ranking.
Rizvan Magomedov, the CEO of Russian promotion, Eagle FC has confirmed former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, will likely miss his cornering duties at UFC 284 next month for current champion, Islam Makhachev, as the Dagestan native’s future as a coach remains firmly up in the air.

Rizvan Magomedov, the CEO of Russian promotion, Eagle FC has confirmed former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, will likely miss his cornering duties at UFC 284 next month for current champion, Islam Makhachev, as the Dagestan native’s future as a coach remains firmly up in the air.
Khabib, a former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, called time on his professional career back in 2020, boasting an undefeated 29-0 professional record.
In the time since, Khabib, who now head’s up Eagle FC since their move to a Florida base, has also taken a big step as a prominent coach at American Kickboxing Academy alongside Javier Mendez – guiding Makhachev, and Usman Nurmagomedov to lightweight gold in the UFC and Bellator, respectively.
In a cryptic post recently, Khabib appeared to hint at a potential step-back from his role as a coach ahead of the incoming 2023 schedule, leading many to speculate that the former UFC lightweight kingpin would be walking away from mixed martial arts entirely
And according to the abovementioned, Magomedov, while he can’t confirm Khabib will not corner Makhachev at UFC 284 on February 11. in Australia against Alexander Volkanovski, claimed he most likely wouldn’t feature at the Perth event.
“I think he (Khabib Nurmagomedov) made it clear and it was such a balanced decision that he approached for a long time,” Rizvan Magomedov said during an interview with Russian outlet, Match TV. “There is no need to look for any behind-the-scenes reasons or radical incidents there. He just came to this. He ended his career in 2020, but travels during training camps, during fights. Out of 12 months, he is 10 absent from home, constantly on these trips.”
“And he (Khabib Nurmagomedov) came to such a decision that it was time to spend time with his family, [and] devote time to children. And, most likely, he will miss this fight (Islam Makhachaev vs. Alexander Volkanovski), yes.”
