Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s elder brother, Magomedov Nurmagomedov, was
recently spotted on camera.

While Khabib reached the pinnacle of success and stardom in mixed
martial arts, he has always kept his family life private. Very
little is known of his older brother Magomed, barring a few rare
photos and mentions in the past interviews.

However, Will Harris of Anatomy of a Fighter managed to briefly
capture Magomed during a visit to Dagestan. Just as Khabib was
introducing his older brother, Magomed politely told Harris, “no
camera.”

“This guy is my big brother,” Khabib said. “Real brother. Mother,
father same… he don’t like camera.”

Their father, the great Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, has once famously
compared his older son to Khabib. Abdulmanap said Khabib was
definitely not the most talented amongst all his children and gave
that distinction to Magomed. According to Abdulmanap, Magomed
bested “The Eagle” at both sports and academics.

“Absolutely [Khabib was] not [the most talented]. My eldest son was
much more capable and smarter,” Abdulmanap said. “In studies as
well. Khabib knows only three languages, his brother knows six.
Khabib did two workouts, his brother did three. At a certain stage
he got tired of it. He was engaged in freestyle wrestling.”

According to an unverified report, Magomed reportedly sustained a
severe spinal injury at the age of 18. Realizing that Magomed could
no longer train intensely, Abdulmanap reportedly shifted focus on
Khabib’s career.
