“When I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen,” – This quote from Conor McGregor reflects his unparalleled career heights through a strong mindset. It highlights the crucial role that the mental game plays in one’s career. While physical strength is essential in an athlete’s journey, a strong mental game is equally important. Recently, Khabib Nurmagomedov credited Coach Javier Mendez for elevating his mental game to the next level.
‘The Eagle’ shared photos on Instagram, training with Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov and middleweight contender Imamshafi Aliev. Khabib also posted pictures with his coach, Javier Mendez, praising his mental game. In his Instagram story, he wrote, “Different level of mentality. I learn from coach a lot.”
This highlights the greatness of the former lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who consistently credits his coaches and teammates. Khabib is building an army of champions as he continues training and mentoring them.
While he became the UFC lightweight champion and retired with an undefeated record of 29-0, Khabib has also guided champions like Islam Makhachev and his cousin, a future title challenger, both before and during their fights. However, Khabib recently faced a significant challenge, as he came under scrutiny from Russia’s Federal Tax Service due to a $3.4 million debt.
Has Khabib Nurmagomedov Settled His $3.4 Million Tax Debt?
Recent reports indicate that ‘The Eagle’ has settled his debts. Nurmagomedov reportedly paid off his outstanding debt of 302 million rubles ($3,398,000) with the Russian Federal Tax Service (FTS).
Before clearing the debt, authorities had seized Khabib’s assets worth $920,000. While the debt has been paid, it’s unclear whether all the seized assets have been returned to the former UFC lightweight champion.
