Khabib Nurmagomedov is still keeping busy even after retiring from fighting. Apart from following in his father’s footsteps and being a stellar coach — he’s still undefeated in the UFC in that new role — the former UFC lightweight champion has now also officially become a professional soccer player.
FC Legion Dynamo, which RT Sport describes as a third-tier football club based in Dagestan, has officially announced that they’ve signed the undefeated UFC superstar.
“A great battle awaits our Legion, for which we need great warriors,” they wrote in Russian.
Khabib has signed his first professional football contract with FC Legion Dynamo.
