UFC News round up: Khabib Nurmagomedov retires as MMA coach
Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former UFC lightweight champion, intends to retire from competing and quit coaching. After defeating Justin Gaethje via submission at UFC 254, Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA) decided to stop competing. The passing of his father, Abdulmanap, was given by “The Eagle” as justification for hanging up his gloves.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has kept busy since retiring from competitive mixed martial arts by running his promotion in Eagle FC. The native of Dagestan has also continued his father’s legacy by mentoring many of his countrymen, including Islam Makhachev, Umar Nurmagomedov, and Usman Nurmagomedov. Khabib has left the mixed martial arts scene despite his success in promoting and coaching the sport.

According to The Mirror, the couple also has a four-year-old daughter named Stormi Webster. Kylie, 30, and Travis, 31, reportedly spent Christmas and the New Year apart but “remain friends” and plan to continue cooperating as co-parents of their two young children, according to sources close to the couple.

Belal Muhammad compares himself with Muhammad Ali
Belal Muhammad wants to win the UFC welterweight championship, but he does not consider the champion his most significant opponent. Muhammad (22-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) has gone unbeaten in his last nine fights, with the lone exception being a no-contest result against current 170-pound champion Leon Edwards due to Muhammad’s inability to continue due to an accidental eye poke. He recently uploaded a photo in which he replaced Muhammad Ali’s visage with his own. Belal captioned the post, “I’ll show you how great I am.”
