The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has named Russian UFC fighter and lightweight world champion Khabib Nurmagomedov as the "World Sports Star of the Year".
The 32-year-old set a professional record with 29 wins and defeated interim champion Justin Giche of the United States in a memorable match in Dubai on October 24 this year in the second round. Khabib Nurmagomedov made his debut in mixed martial arts in 2008 and from the beginning of his career until his retirement Khabib played 29 matches in his career and won all of them unbeaten. The last match to be played in Dubai this year was for Khabib. There was a lot of emotional competition because a few months ago he had to bear the shock of the death of his father who was also his coach due to Corona, which is why he declared it his last competition and announced his retirement. Weightlifting world champion Khabib Nurmago Medvedev defeated Justin Geche of the United States in the final fight in Dubai and was knocked out in the second round. Speaking to the media after his last bout After my father's death, I had to come alone to play a match, which is very painful, so I had already taken permission from my mother to announce my retirement after this match.
Congratulations, @teamkhabib!
