UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov has shown his fans that heโs still working hard in a new social media reel. The undefeated 155-pound Dagestani phenom retired when he defeated Justin Gaethje to defend his title. Purchasing the Gorilla FC, he renamed it Eagle FC, resembling his moniker. โThe Eagleโ subsequently trains the likes of Islam Makhacอhevย and cousinย Umar Nurmagomedov, along with other AKA peers.
He also had a brief stint cornering Makhachev. Islam Makhchev defends his guard again at UFC 302, Live From Prudential Center in Newark. Khabib Nurmagomedov nudging that he is attending to the matter, the pอrotรฉgรฉ prompted big things. With Khabibโs surprise entry in the UFC 302 camp for Dustin Poirier, Islam Makhacอhev teased that his cornering him again isnโt off the list.
Consequently, โThe Eagleโ hitting the heavy bag as part of his training now has the MMA cliqueโs attention. Towards the end of the training session, one sees him doing push-ups and swinging a heavy bag. Nurmagomedov has always seemed to be edging further from a return to the cage. But with โNotoriousโ rival Conor McGregor goading him over potential UFC return, fans are now excited.

UFC 302โs main card might see Khabib cornering a fighter to the delight of others; itโs up in the winds if his MMA return is even a remote possibility. At the end of the title fight, Nurmagomedov might shed some light on the matter. Until then, though, the matter has gone immensely viral.
Khabib Nurmagomedov retired in October 2020 as an undefeated and undisputed UFC lightweight standout. With a stellar 29-0 MMA fight statistic, Khabibโs legacy remains more than unattainable. After a Round 2 submission of Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, he hung up his gloves. Talking to MMA Junkieโs Mike Bohn, โThe Eagleโ said he never entertained a return, even on UFC 300โs epic PPV event.
Fans identify Khabib Nurmagomedovโs intense training with alleged financial troubles (Source: ะฅะฐะฑะธะฑ ะััะผะฐะณะพะผะตะดะพะฒ (@khabib_nurmagomedov) โ Instagram/ scottishsun.co.uk)Even so, fans always await interesting tidbits that say otherwise. The 35-year-old has always said his resolve to quit in 2022 was one-and-done. He now partakes in training camps forย Bellator champ Usman Nurmagomedov, UFC bantamweight contender Umar Nurmagomedov, Belal Muhammad, and many others. Currently, a new joining in the camp for Islam Makhacอhev, footage of his training has gone viral. Hereโs what the fans think of it:

I don’t have any doubt that if Khabib stayed in the UFC he would have stayed undefeated and had more title defenses, his MMA skill is second to none

A prominent fan reaction (@UnbreakableOnX) concurrently retorted โ โGotta pay those taxes.โ Many fans have responded similarly. According to a report byย mma.metarating.ru, the Dagestani owes $3.3 million (or just over 300 million rubles) to the Russian Federal Tax Service. While his corner has refuted such claims, fans have geared up on the cause, stating his return is imminent.
Some have also found the timing coincidentally ironic. Subsequently, more streamlined hardcore fans are in awe of the matter; some even voicing his legacy would have been untarnished to this day. All in all, the matter turned quite a few heads.
