Khabib Nurmagomedov will second Islam Makhachev in all his next fights. This was announced by Javier Mendes, who is the coach of both fighters.

"Before the fight with Puryear, Khabib told me, 'I'll be in Islam's corner and a few other top guys.' So Nurmagomedov is going to work as a second. He never said he wasn't going to second guys. He said he just wanted to spend more time with his family. Now Khabib is telling me, "I'm so happy to be back in the corner!". Khabib said he will be Makhachev's second in all of his next fights, and that makes me very happy to have such a great person and coach by my side," American MMA trainer Javier Mendes told Helen Yee Sports.
