Ali Abdelaziz, the manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov, praised the former UFC star as he faces a challenging legal situation in Russia. Nurmagomedov is struggling after tragic events in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region in southern Russia, where coordinated attacks by gunmen targeted churches and synagogues in two cities last week. Despite the ongoing turmoil, Ali Abdelaziz commended the UFC legend’s resilience.
Ali Abdelaziz Commends Khabib Nurmagomedov Amidst Legal Struggles in Russia
Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently facing significant challenges as Russian forces entered his gym, and the Russian government reportedly seized his bank accounts due to an alleged $3.3 million debt. Despite facing difficult times, Khabib’s manager expressed his unwavering support for Khabib through an Instagram post. Sharing a photo of the two together, Abdelaziz wrote, “If I go to war, this guy in this picture will be my general any day of the week; what he brings to the table is honesty, integrity, and loyalty. This man has changed so many lives and touched so many other lives for the good, my brother, the Eagle of Dagestan @khabib_nurmagomedov.”
Recently, Russian forces raided Khabib’s academy after one of the attackers, Gadzhimurad Kagirov, was revealed to be an MMA fighter associated with the gym of the UFC star’s late father.
Amidst ongoing investigations and growing criticism of the former UFC lightweight champion, support from his manager would surely boost Khabib’s morale, who now faces the challenge of defending himself against these serious allegations.
