Khabib Nurmagomedov reveals real reason he is devoted to coaching

After retiring from the sport of MMA, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been actively coaching his teammates. Under Nurmagomedov's tutelage, Islam Makhachev became the UFC champion, and his cousin Usman became the lightweight champion in Bellator.

Preluding UFC 311, headlined by Makhachev and Renato Moicano (originally Arman Tsarukyan), Nurmagomedov shared the reason why he is devoted to coaching in an exclusive interview with ESPN MMA's Brett Okamoto:

​

"I have to, like, only one responsibility, like only one thing I want to do out of coaching. I just want to spend time with my kids too. But at the same time, I have to share my knowledge with my brothers too. Because when I was on the way to become champion, when I was on the way to defend my titles, like, they were with me, you know? Umar, Islam, Tagir, like all these brothers,” Nurmagomedov said.

UFC 311 gave bittersweet memories for 'The Eagle'.

Although Makhachev secured a first-round finish and Tagir Ulanbekov won via unanimous decision in the fight card opener against Clayton Carpenter, Nurmagomedov's cousin Umar fell short in his bantamweight title fight against champion Merab Dvalishvili.
