MMA Community Reacts To The Death Of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov

Abulmanap Nurmagomedov, the father and trainer of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov sadly passed away this morning. Nurmagomedov Sr. had been battling complications stemming from catching the coronavirus.

After falling in April he was transported to a hospital in Moscow. There he underwent an operation on his heart and was later put into a coma. Abdulmanap awoke from the coma and was frequenly visted by Khabib who said his father recognized him but was unable to talk.

Russia Today sadly reported on Friday that Abdulmanp Nurmagomedov passed away aged 57. Since the news broke the MMA community have been paying their respects to him.

Really sad news that

Now I am watching Kamaru Usman updates to see if Masvidal will be able to fill in on late notice. Otherwise the co mainevent will be elevated, as can be expected.

Covington also said he'd step in. I would much rather see the rematch then Mas in there. Mas gets ragdolled by Usman, Colby/Kamaru is 50/50 just like last time.

Usman is really unlikeable. I just want to see someone, anyone shut him the fuck up.

Same. Mas isn't the guy. I still think Covington is. That first fight was great, even going in to the fifth. Colby is smart--he'll have adjusted his gameplan for the second go.

If this is true, then let us see it and move on from there. This is pretty big fight to make on seven days notice.

If they can’t make the rematch then this fight is an ok replacement for 7 days notice.

Sounds like pending COVID-19 testing Mas/Usman is a go. I'll be cheering for Mas 100%, but I just can't see him winning this fight. Hope his cardios good to go on such short notice!

Wasn't aware of the Usman hate

Sure he chirps a bit, but nowhere on the volume or level as a lot of other guys.

I don't think Jorge will beat Usman. Off the bat I don't think he'd beat Colby either, but the genuine animosity he has for him, and it's fuel for motivation makes it a very interesting prospect.

I remember way back when Ken got ridiculed for his Shamrockisms. Wow I had no idea how much worse Tito was at trash talk

I think they got Tito to be color commentator of those Affliction-branded cards that Fedor headlined, and he was beyond awful. He was like the MMA equivalent of Joe Biden, stumbling over ever other word.

The fact that he ran verbal circles around Ken Shamrock says more about Ken than it does about him.

Marty vs Judas is as high profile a fight you can make that I couldn't care less about.

Couldn't care less about his chirping, I don't like him simply because his style isn't friendly for my viewing given his tools. You can't argue with his results in the cage, he wins fights but my gosh he is TERRIBLE to watch. I hope Jorge beats him, but I highly doubt that will happen. I just want Colby/Usman 2 sooner rather than later. Burns was also a more intriguing match that Masvidal for Usman. I like Jorge, I just don't think he's an elite WW.

I can't wait to hear organ call Aldo the goat at 45 before two guys that kicked his ass fight for the belt.

He's by far the GOAT at 145. Are Berbick or Holmes the best HW just because they beat Ali?

Ridiculous analogy.

Last time out Rogan was calling Holloway the GOAT at 145, which was absurd as Aldo was fighting on the same card and was a much more dominant champ for a longer period of time.

Lol, you'd be hard pressed to come up with one worse. You're to level headed not to understand how outlandish the comparison is.

Aldo/max are very close. If max managed to regain the belt, I don't think he will, he'd clearly be above Jose. Then McGregor beat both of them. Nothing definitive there. No need for Joe to go on and on every feather fight.

Looks like Roid Rage. He laid out an old man. How proud he must be of himself. I hope everyone he fights from now on beats the crap out of him. What a POS.
