A MMA fighter who is linked to UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov’s academy is allegedly responsible for the latest terror attack in Dagestan, Russia, the home of The Eagle. A terrible terror attack occurred in Dagestan on Sunday when several shooters targeted the local churches and synagogues.
A Russian priest and several members of the law enforcement community were among the victims of the terror attack. Journalist Karim Zidan of Sports Politika claims that Russian special forces killed five of the gunmen, including MMA fighter Gadzhimurad Kagirov.
After a string of horrifying terrorist incidents in Dagestan, the home country of his longtime opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor is feeling a little vindicated.
Conor McGregor Targets Khabib Numagomedov After Dagestan Attack
In Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in southern Russia, gunmen attacked synagogues and churches in two different cities on Sunday. Gadzhimurad Kagirov, who was part of Khabib’s MMA Academy, was one of the terrorists involved in the attack.
Kagirov, 28, was a freestyle wrestling master of sport—an honorary title awarded to accomplished sportsmen in Russia—before switching to professional mixed martial arts (MMA) under the tutelage of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Representing Khabib’s Eagle MMA fight club—a training ground established by the imprisoned Dagestani magnate Ziyavudin Magomedov—he amassed a 2-0 professional record.
Conor McGregor, regarded as Nurmagomedov’s biggest opponent inside the Octagon, has been busy following the unexpected revelation. He has been tweeting and deleting his opinions about the incident, using the hashtag #ConorWasRight.

McGregor reacted to a video shared by Australian Cossack showing Russian security forces raiding Nurmagomedov’s Eagle MMA gym in Makhachkala.
Eagles Mixed Martial Arts has a history of engaging in illegal activities. A club executive was detained in absentia back in 2018 for allegedly attempting to kill MMA fighter Shamil Kuramagomedov. Kuramagomedov was ambushed and nearly killed by a gang of fighters from Eagles MMA and Magomedov’s Summa gang.
