Report: Khabib’s father ‘still can’t talk’ and remains in ‘serious condition’ following heart surgery

Despite waking from a medically induced coma several days ago, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov remains in critical condition, according to reports from Russian media.

“He is out of a coma but still can’t talk,” Ramazan Rabadanov, a friend of the Nurmagomedov family, told Sport Express. “He’s in a serious condition. That’s the only thing we know. I’m ill myself and called a doctor.”

Rabadanov later told TASS.ru that Nurmagomedov had also suffered a stroke and was “in a coma for seven days after a heart operation.”

The 57-year-old, who previously underwent heart surgery in 2019, initially fell ill in his hometown of Makhachkala, Dagestan, and was convinced by family members to visit a doctor, who later diagnosed him with pneumonia.
