Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most terrifying UFC fighters on the roster today. He’s undefeated and has all but cleared out the UFC’s lightweight division. However, he’s not the only one from his bloodline who’s a world class fighter, and they’re ready to take over the UFC.
Currently there’s another Nurmagomedov who is signed to the promotion, Khabib’s cousin Abubakar Nurmagomedov. He has yet to make his debut, but Khabib announced the news of his signing recently in a post to his Instagram.

Now, there appears to be a third relative on the cusp of entering the UFC, this one though is the brother of Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Rumors of Khabib’s brother entering the UFC have been around for sometime now. However, in the Instagram post above, you can see, there’s four men. Khabib is saying “4 UFC fighters”, but right now, all we know about is the three, Daniel Cormier, Khabib, and the aforementioned cousin of Nurmagomedov.
If Khabib’s recent revelation holds true, it will mean both his brother and his cousin are signed to the UFC. Which will bring the grand total of Nurmagomedov’s to three inside the promotion.
Thoughts?
