The length of the contract and whether Nurmagomedov will, in fact, join the Dagestan team's delegation as a player have not yet been announced. In an image published on the club's profile on Instagram, the former UFC man appears shaking hands with the team's president, Shamil Lakhiyalov, with some kind of contract on the table.
“A great battle awaits our legion, for which we need great warriors. We are ready to receive a 'Premier League', along with Khabib Nurmagomedov,” they wrote.
The biggest name in the history of lightweight, the athlete never hid his passion for football. On several occasions, the fighter was photographed alongside football personalities, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Seedorf.
In recent months, the Russian released images in which he participated in a traditional 'rachão'. On that occasion, Khabib scored a beautiful goal.
Undefeated in mixed martial arts with 29 consecutive victories, Nurmagomedov abandoned the sport in October last season, when he overcame Justin gaethje and unified the lightweight title. Still in the octagon after the triumph, the Russian confirmed the information, pointing to the death of his father, Abdulmanap, in July 2020, as decisive for the decision.
