Report: Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov again in coma, on life support after turn for worse in COVID-19 fight

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s fight with COVID-19 has taken a turn for the worse, according to a new report from a Russian state-run media outlet.

The father of UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov is on life support and again in a coma less than one week after emerging from a medically-induced coma and showing signs of improvement, RT reported on Tuesday.

Per RT, Khabib Nurmagomedov on Monday told his Instagram followers his father is in “very serious” condition. Several media outlets translated the elder Nurmagomedov’s status as “critical” after he suffered a stroke and underwent heart bypass surgery as the result of a previous heart ailment and the coronavirus.
