UFC president Dana White also took to social media to send his support. "Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov is a true martial artist who lives a life of pride, honour and respect," he wrote. "He instilled those same values in his son, world champion Khabib, at an early age and was always in his corner throughout his career. I know how close Khabib is with his father and I’m saddened to hear about his current state. My thoughts are with Abdulmanap and the Nurmagomedov family as he continues to fight." Source: The Mirror
