Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired from mixed martial arts last October, has signed for third-tier Russian side FC Legion Dynamo. Nurmagomedov announced his retirement following his submission victory over American Justin Gaethje on October 24, his first fight following the death of his father, Abdulmanap, from complications caused by COVID-19.  Fulfilling a promise made to his mother, the 32-year-old left the cage after a stunning run of 13 wins in eight years and a professional record featuring eight knockouts and 11 submission wins in his 29 victories.
