Khabib Nurmagomedov, better known as “The Eagle,” was born to Fatima and Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov on September 20, 1988. In the distant Russian village of Kirovaul, he grew up with cousins, his older brother, Magomed Nurmagomedov, and his younger sister, Amina.
Nurmagomedov was a restless little boy who was extremely active and who learned how to cause trouble at home and in the community. He was raised in a middle-class Kirovaul area middle-class household.
Wrestling was chosen as the starting sport for Nurmagomedov since it was popular among the majority of children in Kirovaul. Nurmagomedov, who was coached by his father, made great strides in the sport and, at age 9, even engaged in bear wrestling.
