State Duma Deputy Svetlana Zhurova highly appreciated the prospects of Khabib Nurmagomedov in politics
Olympic champion in speed skating and State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova praised the prospects of the former mixed martial artist (MMA) Khabib Nurmagomedov in politics. It is reported by “RB-Sport”.
“Sooner or later, everyone can try himself in politics, including Khabib. Yes, after leaving MMA, he could become a deputy, another question is whether he needs it? Zhurova noted. She added that the new field of activity will require Nurmagomedov to be completely immersed.
On January 7, it became known about Nurmagomedov’s decision to leave the MMA industry. Later, his second cousin and head of Eagle FC promotion Shamil Zavurov said that the Russian would limit his presence in this sport, but would not leave it completely.
Nurmagomedov defended his UFC lightweight title three times before retiring. The athlete won 29 victories in 29 professional fights under the rules of MMA. The Russian held his last fight in October 2020, being stronger than the American Justin Gaethje.
