Khabib admits coronavirus will have lasting consequences on his father’s health

It appears as though Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov — father and longtime mentor of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov — is beginning to turn the corner towards recovery.

According to Khabib, his father remains hospitalized but is beginning to show signs of improvement, mainly that he is no longer infected with the coronavirus.

“His condition is still serious, he’s still in intensive care,” Khabib said during an interview on Russian TV (h/t RT Sports).”The coronavirus itself is behind him, but the virus has had consequences for his kidneys and his heart. As for the virus, there’s no need to worry, only about the other consequences.
