Biography
[edit]An ethnic Avar, Nurmagomedov was born on December 10, 1962 in the village of Sildi, Tsumadinsky District. In 1987 he graduated from the Poltava University of Economics and Trade with a degree in accounting and economics. He had two sons, Magomed and Khabib, and one daughter, Amina.[1] He started his sporting career with freestyle wrestling, which he, like many Dagestani children, had practiced from a young age. While serving in the Soviet Army, he began to practice judo and sambo.[2]
His first big success as a coach came when his brother, Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov, won at the World Sambo Championship for Ukraine's national team in 1992. He trained a total of 18 world champions through his coaching career.[3]
At the end of April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia, Nurmagomedov was hospitalized in the 2nd city hospital of Makhachkala with bilateral pneumonia caused by COVID-19. Having been taken to Moscow in early May on a private jet, his condition rapidly worsened, and he died there on 3 July 2020, from COVID complications. He was 57 years old.[4][5][6] On 4 July, he was buried in his native village.[7] Following his death, his son Khabib announced his retirement from mixed martial arts after his victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, a fight which he dedicated to the memory of his father.[8]
