Report: Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Father Has Regained Consciousness

Recently various figures throughout MMA, including Conor McGregor, shared out they’re thinking and praying for Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father. Now it’s being reported that the highly regarded coach is improving.

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov is reportedly conscious

Earlier in the week it was reported that Khabib’s father Abdulmanap was in a coma and in critical condition, after being hospitalized initially due to a suspected case of pneumonia. The news prompted concern and well wishes throughout MMA, and even Khabib’s rival McGregor, relayed he was praying for Nurmagomedov.

Dana White also tweeted out that Nurmagomedov was in his thoughts.

Since then, RT has reported that Russian media outlets are reporting that Abdulmanap is no longer in a coma, and that his condition is serious, but stable. At the time of the report, Abdulmanap had not spoken to anyone yet.

Nurmagomedov’s next bout

Before his father fell seriously ill, Khabib was talking about fighting in July. But, due to the circumstances, it remains to be seen if the UFC’s lightweight champ is still targeting that timeframe.
