$40,000,000 Man Khabib Nurmagomedov Avows He Finds Living in the USA More Appealing, Despite Owning Multiple Businesses in the Middle East

Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most established MMA fighters of all time. Despite accumulating an astonishing $40 million net worth, he still finds life appealing in the USA over the Middle East and other regions. ‘The Eagle‘ was born in the rugged mountains of Dagestan in Russia. However, he launched his own businesses such as the Fitroo protein brand, opened his own gym, and launched his own promotion ‘Eagle FC’ in the Middle East and other areas of the world.

Thus after retiring, Nurmagomedov has shown his skills as an astute businessman managing several companies in different realms. Moreover, he has spent a lot of time in the USA training and fighting for the UFC, thus he knows the lifestyle of a US resident and its benefits.

Khabib Nurmagomedov claims the USA is more appealing than other countries

Recently, the Dagestani sat down for an interesting conversation with PBD, the whole conversation was open to the public with many fans in the audience. During their conversation, Nurmagomedov shared his opinion about living in the USA as compared to other countries.

Nurmagomedov said, “Even in Russia, in Dagestan, in the Middle East, in Europe, I cannot go anywhere without people bothering me. But this is the only country. I can wear whatever I want, cover myself, no mask. I go to Starbucks, sit for 1 hour, drink coffee, enjoy my life. I love it.”

Despite owning multiple businesses in the Middle East, Khabib gives a very sound reasoning as to why the US appeals to him so much. Roaming around without being troubled by too many people is a luxury that not a lot of superstars enjoy. And if geography(the US in this case) provides them with that, they are bound to be attracted to that location.

However, five years back in 2018, ‘The Eagle’ also opined why he wouldn’t ‘actually’ settle in the US.

Nurmagomedov explained why he doesn’t reside in the USA

The Dagestani has his roots deeply embedded in his background and family. As much as Nurmagomedov enjoys his time in developed nations such as the USA and the Middle East, he once mentioned how living with his family is best for a person. In a documentary series released back in 2018, Nurmagomedov said:

“You ask, why I don’t do this [ Live in USA or other developed countries instead of Dagestan]? These people are my relatives, my family, my parents. I won’t find them overseas.”

It is quite fascinating to understand the perspective of a millionaire former champion who rose from a very challenging place. Perhaps, those were the ingredients that made the recipe for success in Nurmagomedov’s life as his close compatriot Islam Makhachev is enjoying similar success.
