American Kickboxing Academy head coach, Javier Mendez has confirmed former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to walk away from his coaching role in mixed martial arts, in order to spend time with his family.
Khabib, a former undisputed lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, retired from active competition back in 2020 having improved to 29-0 professionally courtesy of a second round triangle win over Justin Gaethje to unify the lightweight championships.
In the time since, Khabib has turned his hand to coaching – guiding both Islam Makhachev, and Usman Nurmagomedov to undisputed lightweight gold under the banners of the UFC and Bellator MMA in the last year.
However, recently, speculation has rose regarding the coaching future of Khabib, with Russian manager and Eagle FC CEO, Rizvan Magomedov confirming his doubts that the Dagestan native would corner Makhachev at UFC 284 on February 11.
“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.”
Following Magomedov’s revelation of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s uncertain future in the sport entirely, AKA head coach, Mendez has confirmed his long-time student is set to take a step away from the coaching setup.
“Yes, he (Khabib Nurmagoemdov) told me, unlike the last time when he promised his mother that he would retire from competition and I was not aware of it, this one here, he informed me about three weeks out that this is what he was gonna do,” Javier Mendez told Submission Radio. “He wants to spend time with his family, and I one hundred per cent I’m with him on what he wants to do and the reasons why he wants to do it.”
“There’s no legit reasons more than family for him and giving them what they deserve, the time, you know, while they’re young,” Mendez explained. “And he never said forever, but there’s gonna be a while though I would imagine. Unles something happens where he really misses that and he really feels he’s needed. But right now, I think everybody is good with his decision and very happy for him.”
Khabib Nurmagomedov has a rather unique idea on how to cement himself as the “Michael Jordan of MMA.” Last year, we ran a story that described Khabib as going “full Michael Jordan.” This was because, like Jordan decades earlier,…

A little bit of history will be made this weekend when a fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Max Holloway takes place in the Metaverse.
The Metaverse is an online space that allows people to interact in a more immersive manner compared to traditional websites. The users utilize virtual reality headsets and online avatars for a more interactive experience in the space.
In April 2018, Nurmagomedov was scheduled to fight Tony Ferguson, before ‘El Cucuy’ fell out of the UFC 223 main event due to injury. Holloway stepped up on late notice for a shot at the lightweight title only for the doctors shut down his attempts to cut to 155lbs. Al Iaquinta eventually stepped up at the eleventh hour and was soundly beaten by Nurmagomedov who claimed the vacant lightweight title.
A fight between Nurmagomedov and Holloway was one that always intrigued fight fans, but it appeared to be unfortunately off the table after ‘The Eagle’ retired from MMA last year. However, the bout will now take place on Saturday in the Metaverse and is being billed as “The first Metaverse fight in the history of the Earth.”
The people who have beaten Dana White to hosting the first-ever Metaverse fight are Legion Farm had the following to say about the Metaverse fight and their partnership with Daniel Cormier and Islam Makhachev who will be special guests on the evening.

On Thursday, Holloway took to social media to confirm his participation in the event.
“On February 12, @legionfarm, a place where gamers meet and play with PRO players, will be hosting an epic event in Mozilla Hubs Metaverse with the First Metaverse Fight in the history of the Earth between Khabib Nurmagomedov and me! And you are invited to witness it,” Holloway wrote on Instagram.
According to Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather was all just one big circus act. Aside from Jake Paul hitting Dana White with his best Jimmy B.

According to Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather was all just one big circus act.
Aside from Jake Paul hitting Dana White with his best Jimmy B. Rabbit impersonation, no one has been able to grab the attention of the combat community like Khabib has of late.
Widely regarded as the best mixed martial artist to ever meet the scales at 155 pounds, ‘The Eagle’ appears to be making the most seamless transition into running his own fight club.
In the middle of the octagon that would soon host Eagle FC 44, Khabib sat down with the popular Full Send Podcast and offered up his thoughts on Showtime’s boxing special between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
Khabib was asked by host Kyle Forgeard about the impact his UFC 229 bout with Conor McGregor had on the sport. After acknowledging that he believed it was the biggest fight in MMA history, Dagestan’s first son quickly shifted his attention towards his rival’s 2018 pay-per-view spectacle.
“It was like, historical event, you know,” Nurmagomedov said. “It’s like MMA champion versus boxing champion but like, inside the fight many people don’t even remember what happened inside the fight. I think you guys gonna be agree with me.”
Always humble and conscious of his surroundings, Khabib realized he had gotten off-topic. Just as it appeared that he had reached a moment of clarity and was about to forever hold his peace, he made sure the masses knew that he believed Conor and Floyd were faking it.
“For me it was like more fake fight. This just my opinion. Maybe, maybe not,” Nurmagomedov added.
While Khabib made it clear that he wasn’t a supporter of gimmicky crossover matchups, he did say that Eagle FC was open to signing Jake Paul.
After Paul demanded his first MMA fight be against the former pound-for-pound king, questions were raised about whether or not ‘The Problem Child’ was truly interested in pursuing a career inside the cage.
When asked, Khabib chuckled at the thought of fighting Paul but stayed true to his word that Eagle FC would provide an opportunity for any fighter without a home.
Do you think McGregor Vs. Mayweather was staged?
