Khabib Nurmagomedov Pursues Football Debut
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who announced his retirement from the sport in October 2020, has expressed a keen interest in transitioning to football. The Russian fighter, known for his impressive mixed martial arts skills, has demonstrated his football abilities in a professional match and has been training for his debut in the sport.
Nurmagomedov's interest in football is not new. He has been a long-time fan of the game, often sharing videos of himself playing football with friends. In an interview with UFC Russia, he stated his preference for football over mixed martial arts. This preference became evident when he participated in a football match in early January 2021, playing alongside former Real player Clarence Seedorf.
The football club from Makhachkala, "Anji", has shown support for Nurmagomedov's pursuit of a career in football. They consider him a promising athlete, as evidenced by his participation in a professional match. In a comment on a training video Nurmagomedov shared on Instagram, "Anji" expressed their interest in offering him a spot on their team.
It's worth noting that Nurmagomedov's participation in a professional football match suggests he is serious about his pursuit of a career in football. Prior to his retirement announcement in October 2020, there are no records of him having played a football match.
Nurmagomedov, a fan of Real Madrid, has mentioned he is waiting for offers regarding his football debut. As he prepares for this new chapter in his career, fans and football enthusiasts eagerly await his official debut in the sport.
