Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov revealed whether his illustrious cousin would Khabib Nurmagomedov be in the corner of the UFC title owner in the same category Islam Makhacheva during a duel with Charles Oliveira.

Let us remind you that the other day it became known that Khabib was taking part in Makhachev’s training camp, despite the fact that he had previously announced his complete retirement from mixed martial arts.

“It seems he won’t be in Islam’s corner. No, no, he's just training with him. As always. He just came to Dubai to train with the guys because it motivates him. But, as far as I know, Khabib has no plans to return to the role of a corner, as well as a coach. Still, when he’s in the gym, he drives everyone,” Usman said at the press conference after Bellator 300.
