Are the Nurmagomedovs the only other household name in MMA? (Besides Gracies)

I can't think of another besides the gracies.

So far from what I know:

Abdulmanap (Coach who raised 18 world champions)
Khabib (GOAT UFC Champion)
Abubakar (UFC fighter)
Umar (Undefeated UFC fighter)
Usman (Undefeated Bellator fighter)

And plenty of others in regional promotions

Said isn't related to them.

He's a cousin of Khabib and "Part of his Dynasty" according to this article.

Though this article says otherwise

Edit: Aha, he's not his cousin you were right! Cleared up by the man himself!

But Khabib himself cleared up the question of his ties with Said when telling RT Sport about his fellow Dagestani fighter back at the start of 2018.

“Of course I know him, he’s a good friend, he’s an amazing fighter, but he’s not my cousin even though we have the same name,” Khabib said.

“He has a very big chance in the UFC,” he added.

He's not his cousin brother, but he's his brother cousin .. <KhabibBS>

Two brothers aren't enough, plenty of MMA brothers out there.
I'm talking a Dynasty, a Clan... Brothers, cousins, relatives, etc..
 
Conor McGregor´s entire family name was banned by King Jameson at the time because they were too savage.
 
So am I really the only one that realized that TS doesn't really understand what a household name is?

A household name isn't necessarily a large family in a specific field. It's just an incredibly famous/well recognized person(s).

Nurmagomedov is only well known because of Khabib. Barely anyone knows the other ones.

No I realised aswell. None of Khabib's relatives are household names except maybe Abdulmap in Russia, even then, I'm assuming that.

It seems like they already knew the answer to the original question, if they don't want brothers and only extended family realistically it's the Gracies and Khabib's and that's it but subtlety I think they wanted us to just talk about Khabib's family of fighters.
 
People only really know Khabib and maybe his father, lots won't know his father by name though. The others aren't really whom the whole household knows.

Lol, TS used the term "household name" incorrectly. He wants the name of a large family in MMA and that's not really what "household name" means.
