Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently preparing for the biggest fight of his life. That being said, the world-class mixed martial artist will have to do compete without his father in his corner.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is known for his Sambo wrestling background, a skill set instilled by his own father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. The UFC champion’s dad has been an important part of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s training since the beginning. However, the Dagestan native has had difficulties getting his father a visa for travel to the United States.
As reported by RT Sports, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov has been denied a visa for entry into the U.S. Consequently, the Dagestan native will not be able to corner Khabib Nurmagomedov for UFC 229 on Oct. 6. “The Eagle” will be facing Conor McGregor live on pay-per-view.
