Khabib Nurmagomedov goes down as one of the greatest combat athletes of all time, in the conversation with people like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and much more.
The pension of Khabib Nurmagomedov of the UFC in 2020 came as a huge shock for the fan base, since he was still in the prime of his career and was unbeaten on 29-0.
His retirement came after a new dominant version in which he submitted Justin Gaethje in the second round and scored his fifth entry profit in his UFC career.
Since his retirement, Nurmagomedov has become one of the best coaches in MMA, who coaches the will of Islam Makhachev, Umar Nurmagomedov and Usman Nurmagomedov, who continue his estate.

Khabib Nurmagomedov receives a prize signed by Muhammad Ali
Even years after his retirement, Nurmagomedov still receives calls from the fans to retire and to compete again in the UFC, because he is only 36 years old.
Nevertheless, the Russian continues to comply with a promise he made to his mother after the tragic death of his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, and will still fall as one of the greatest of all time despite his premature retirement.
And now, to honor his estate even further, Khabib recently received a prize signed by Boxing Legend, Muhammad Ali, when he visited Kuwait.
Ali is generally regarded as one of the most inspiring figures ever, after he has crossed boxing and represents his Islamic religion worldwide.
The prize that Khabib was awarded was a plaque with the iconic photo of Ali who was about Sonny Liston during their historical title fight. It also includes the formulation 'Introduction of Islam', in honor of Khabib's performance as a Muslim hunter.
Khabib in the hope of coaching Islam Makhachev to another UFC title
Khabib continues his estate in sport and hopes to coach Islam Makhachev to another UFC title after recently announced that Makhachev has shocked his lightweight title.
The next fight by Makhachev will be against the recently new Welterweight champion, Jack della Maddalena and the Russian corpses to achieve what Nurmagomedov has never done in his UFC career, and that will be a two-weight world champion.
Some fans believe that Makhachev already has a stronger legacy than Khabib, given that he has more UFC title defenses than he, and has the record for the most title defenses in the UFC light weight history.
