Javier Mendez coached the longest reigning UFC lightweight champion in history, Khabib Nurmagomedov. He’s currently training Khabib’s close friend Islam Makhachev, who is ranked No.5 in the UFC lightweight division.
Khabib Nurmagomedov purchased Russian MMA promotion GFC and renamed it EFC
After hanging up his boots following a submission victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 last October, Khabib Nurmagomedov purchased the Gorilla Fighting Championship for $1 million.
Since he’s nicknamed ‘The Eagle’, Khabib decided to rename the newly acquired Russian MMA promotion to the Eagle Fighting Championship.
Khabib conducted the recent EFC event in memory of his late father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who passed away last year after contracting COVID-19.
