For the unversed, a gunman named Gadzhimurad Kagirov was involved in a recent terrorist attack that killed at least 21 people, including 16 police officers. Kagirov, who was shot dead, was reportedly associated with Nurmagomedov’s martial arts school.
The former UFC lightweight champion has since come out and denied that Kagirov was a student of his school. He claimed the aforementioned man only conducted a camp in his school a couple of years ago.
Nurmagomedov’s school, however, was recently raided in link to the incident. A law enforcement told Interfax, “A check of the documentation is being conducted. It is connected with the terrorist attacks that took place in Makhachkala and Derbent. One of the liquidated fighters had previously trained in this club.”
A report from Sport Politika suggests that Nurmagomedov’s troubles with the Russian government are much more deep. He reportedly faces several legal issues, including a case of tax evasion. The report claimed that ‘The Eagle’ is unlikely to return to Russia anytime soon. Conor McGregor has taken the opportunity to lambast his former foe.
