Khabib's little brother?

[HockeyBjj]

I don't follow wsof closely, but I'm definitely tuning in tonight for Palhares vs. Shield.

I see on the card there is a Nurmagomedov vs. Moreno. Is there any relation to Khabib? Or is that just a bit of a common name out there?

Yes. Abubakar Nurmagomedov is Khabib's little brother, blood cousin, adopted brother. His only loss is by doctor stoppage for a cut against another interesting Russian prospect.

All I know is Abubakar and Khabib were raised by Khabib's father together, which is why they call each other brother. They also have an older brother, but I don't think he does MMA.
