Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father and longtime mentor, Abdulmanap, is reportedly ‘progressing’ after being hospitalized with COVID-19 related complications.
According to Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, Abdulmanap recently opened his eyes and even spoke to Khabib during a recent encounter.
“Khabib is very strong, his family is very strong and his father is very strong,” Abdelaziz told ESPN. “He’s improving. He opened his eyes, responding a little bit — good sign. Allah is in control. We have faith he will be better, but at the end of the day, it’s completely up to his health whether it progresses or not.
