Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, padre del campeón de peso ligero de UFC Khabib Nurmagomedov, murió el viernes después de luchar contra COVID-19, y su impacto en el mundo de las artes marciales mixtas fue evidente por la efusión de respeto que siguió inmediatamente en las redes sociales.
Abdulmanap no solo fue el padre de Khabib, el fenómeno invicto que es el mejor luchador de MMA libra por libra de ESPN, sino que también fue el entrenador en jefe de Khabib y mentor de muchos de los excelentes luchadores de UFC que salieron de Daguestán, la república rusa que es un semillero de MMA.
Después de su muerte, entrenadores, luchadores y otros miembros de la comunidad de MMA recurrieron a las redes sociales para ofrecer sus condolencias y honrar la vida de Abdulmanap, uno de los líderes más influyentes de las artes marciales en Europa del Este, y más allá.
The loss of a father, a coach, and a dedicated supporter of the sport. Condolences and rest in peace Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.
