“Some Russian media reported that I said that Khabib completed his career. This is an absolute lie. Habib mourns after the death of his father. I want everyone to respect the situation and not give fake news, ”Ali Abdel-Aziz wrote on his Twitter.
On July 3, as a result of complications caused by coronavirus, the father of the Russian champion Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov died.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has been holding the UFC lightweight champion since spring 2018. He has 28 victories and not a single loss in his career.
Shamil Suleymanov, director of MMA at UFC Gym Russia, said earlier that he did not believe that Nurmagomedov would end his career due to the death of his father.
