Former UFC King Lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov arranged with President Dana White, officially abandoned the championship and announced that he would not return to the stage last week. But that did not think that Khabib was out of love with MMA – he could return to another role – coach.
According to Luke Rockhor's recent sharing on TMZ, Khabib Nurmagomedov has proposed to become his coach. Khabib and Rokhold have been friends for a long time at the American Kickboxing Academy, along with Daniel Cormier, Islam Makhachev and many other famous boxers.
“Khabib contacted me, saying he wanted to become my coach,” Luke Rockhor happily recounted.
“He is very serious about becoming a coach. Khabib tells me frankly that I can't keep arranging my training like this. He said he would have to train me, to be with me. Even Khabib was angry and scolded me about the training! Khabib wanted to contribute a part in the match that I returned to UFC.
“I know Khabib's goal is the coach of the year – that is exactly what he wants. He wants to continue to conquer a new peak, he wants to follow his father, becoming a good coach. Khabib's father is always an excellent coach – he has a very close view and always catches the key.”
“I guess Khabib is ready to become a coach, and inherit what his father left.”
