Biography
Nurmagomedov was born in 1962 in the village of Sildi, Tsumadinsky District. In 1987 he graduated from the Poltava University of Economics and Trade with a degree in accounting and economics. He had two sons, Magomed and Khabib, and one daughter, Amina. He started his sporting career with freestyle wrestling, which he, like many Dagestani children, had practiced from a young age. While serving in the Soviet Army, he began to practice judo and sambo.
His first big success as a coach came when his brother, Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov, won at the World Sambo Championship for Ukraine’s national team in 1992. He trained a total of 18 world champions through his coaching career. In September 2019, he was named by the Russian Book of Records as the most successful combat sambo coach in the country.
At the end of April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia, Nurmagomedov was hospitalized in the 2nd city hospital of Makhachkala with bilateral pneumonia caused by COVID-19. Having been taken to Moscow in early May on a private jet, his condition rapidly worsened, and he died there on July 3, 2020 from COVID complications. He was 57 years old. On July 4, he was buried in his native village. Following his death, his son Khabib announced his retirement from mixed martial arts after UFC 254.
