Khabib Nurmagomedov explained the origin of the nickname "Eagle"


At the World Sports Summit in Dubai, Khabib Nurmagomedov shared that before joining the UFC, he did not have any nickname. However, in 2012, when he signed a contract with the promotion, the organization's representatives suggested that he choose a nickname, as his first and last name are difficult to pronounce.

The fighter chose "Eagle" as a symbol of Dagestan, his homeland. Over time, as Nurmagomedov became a well-known figure in the world of MMA, the need for a nickname disappeared, as fans learned to pronounce his name correctly.

Khabib ended his career with an impressive record: 29 wins without a single loss, and to this day remains one of the most significant figures in UFC history.
