UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov's father Abdulmanap dies 'from Covid-19 complications'
(CNN)The father and trainer of UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, Abdulmanap, has died, the fighter's management team confirmed on Friday in a statement sent to CNN.
Abdulmanap died in a Moscow hospital due to complications stemming from Covid-19 infection, according to the RT.com website. He was aged 57.
"I ask Allah to bless the deceased with his mercy, and to give your believing hearts patience despite the pain and to bring us together with our loved ones in heaven.
"To Allah we belong and to Him is our return."
Khabib said in May that Abdulmanap was in a serious condition. He had traveled back to his home in Dagestan, Russia when lockdown measures were implemented.
However, in an interview with ESPN in early June, Abdelaziz said that his situation was improving.
"Khabib is very strong, his family is very strong and his father is very strong," Abdelaziz said. "He's improving. He opened his eyes and he's responding a little bit -- good sign. Allah is in control."
RT.com reported that Abdulmanap suffered a heart attack after being diagnosed with coronavirus. He then underwent emergency bypass surgery, after which he was twice placed into a medically-induced coma.

"Very sorry to hear of the passing of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. A genius of combat sports and absolute inspiration to so many up and coming fighters.
"Sadly only entering his prime of coaching such a loss and tragedy. RIP and best wishes to his family during this difficult time."

🥊 Condolence to Khabib and family for the lost of their love ones. From Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. May he be placed among the righteous.
🥊 I know the news from TV. It was said that his father is his mentor as well his trainer since childhood. In the video it shows how close Khabib and his father and I admire them.
🥊 I never watch Khabib match as I'm not courages to watch MMA, but he is very popular among my friends. They always talk about khabib especially how cool he is being humble and patient. They told me about his training, his rivals as well the controversy surround them.
🥊 In the video it shown how Khabib and his father being patient and forgiveful to his opponent when he insult them. Their endurance quite admirable for someome who have strength. Khabib stressed out that no tarsh talk about religion as it is important to him. However it doesn't mean they keep silent when they insult Islam, he prove it with him winning the match. Every winning he gratefully say Alhamdulillah.
🥊 Khabib and his father are good examples of how a muslim should represent islam. Whoever we are, in any occupation try to show good manner. Being a muslim we bring the name of Islam. How we act is how people sees in Islam. It doesn't mean we have to be fake, but try hard to be a good one to find Allah blessing.
🥊 Another proud muslim sportman is Mohamed Salah. A humble and talented footballer.
🥊 Even having all the blessing of strenght, money, fame and good look Khabib, Mr Abdulmanap and Salah being humble are respectful and admirable. Stressing publicly religion is important, showing attitude being a good muslim, we are very proud of them. Surely they become inspiration to all muslim and get endless pahala. Good luck to them in their career and may Allah bless.
"You cannot talk about religion. You cannot talk about nation. Guys, you cannot talk about these things. This is very important to me." Khabib
Salah is Muslim and celebrates goals by performing the sujud.On this goal celebration, Salah told CNN, "It's something like praying or thanking God for what I have received, but yeah, it's just praying and praying for a win. [I've] always done that since I was young, everywhere." Salah
“I forgive Conor McGregor, all in the past,” Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov
