Nurmagomedov retired from the UFC in 2020 with an undefeated record of 29-0. He is widely regarded as one of the best of all time and is a member of the UFC Hall of Fame.
He is now a coach and cornerman and makes regular appearances at UFC events. He has a close relationship with current UFC fighter Islam Makhachev and has appeared in his corner for fights in the past.
Nurmagomedov was part of one of the most famous fights in UFC history when he took on Connor McGregor at UFC 229. The fight set the record for the largest-ever MMA pay-per-view event with roughly 2.4 million purchases.
