UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov on Monday said the coronavirus has wreaked havoc on his family, hospitalizing his father and sickening more than 20 of his relatives.
During an Instagram live chat, Nurmagomedov said his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, remains in “very serious condition” after suffering heart complications as a result of the virus, per a report from RT.
“This virus has very seriously affected his heart, since he had a heart operation a year ago,” according to the Russian state-run media outlet’s translation of the UFC champ, who remains in Dagestan more than one month after sheltering there as travel restrictions scuttled a title fight against Tony Ferguson at UFC 249.
