Abdulmanap's condition improved recently and he regained consciousness but the latest reports indicate that his condition has worsened once again and he has slipped into a coma for the second time. Khabib Nurmagomedov recently took to social media to say that his father is still in a serious condition and that more than 20 close relatives of his have suffered from the coronavirus disease, and some have even passed away.
Cormier says Khabib Nurmagomedov's father is the strongest person he knows
As messages of support pour in from the MMA community, DC shared an emotional story about Khabib Nurmagomedov's father on the DC & Helwani show. Cormier said that Khabib's father "is one of the strongest people in the world" and he will fight to survive for his family.
“He (Khabib Nurmagomedov) calls him father all the time. Khabib’s dad is one of the strongest people in the world and he’s gonna fight to be there for his family. Khabib’s father is one of the strongest human beings you’ve ever met. I was at the Ultimate Fighter gym one time and his dad grabbed me to wrestle with me, and then Khabib goes ‘DC, this guy really tried to win!’ Then I realized his dad was really trying to beat me! He’s the real deal, man, and I hope the champ and his family get through this.”
