Khabib Nurmagomedov: I started learning the basics of MMA after I finished my career

UFC Hall of Famer and former UFC lightweight (70 kg) champion, 37-year-old Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov, said that he began to master the highest-level basics of mixed martial arts just before ending his career.

According to Idman.Biz, Khabib, according to him, began to become aware of the secrets of MMA only after the age of 32.

"Where do you get so much life energy? I am 37 years old. I'm young, I still have energy. A close friend told me that after 40 it will be difficult, you will start to slow down a little. I just turned 37. Remember that I ended my career because of a tragedy in my family. I ended my career at 32. I didn't even have time to start. I had just started learning the basics of MMA. Then a tragedy happened with my father, and I finished it then," Nurmagomedov said in an interview with UDAR TV.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's father, coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, died of coronavirus infection on July 3, 2020, at the age of 58.
