Abubakar Nurmagomedov just can’t seem to catch a break. Whether it’s his gaming PC getting destroyed or his car ending up in pieces, the cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov appears to be the victim of some bizarre cosmic punishment—or maybe just his cousin’s no-nonsense philosophy. The latest incident has once again sparked discussion in the MMA community, with fans reacting to Khabib’s relentless discipline and how it affects Abubakar’s life.
A video circulating online shows Khabib jokingly blaming former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson for Abubakar’s gaming habits, suggesting it had a negative impact on his career. “Because of you, you take him [Abubakar] all the time to game, he lose one fight. I remember, I remember this,” Khabib said. He even admitted to taking drastic measures: “We broke his computer.”
But it didn’t stop there. Khabib and team didn’t just break his car. They went to the extent of breaking a car Abubakar purchased without telling the team. In a video uploaded to Reddit, ‘The Eagle’ said this about thrashing his cousin’s car, “He once bought a car without discussing it with the team and the family. He bought a Panamera Porsche. But we were all against it because for the time being, he needed to stay in the gym instead of cruising around the city in a fancy car.”
For longtime followers of the Nurmagomedov family, this level of discipline is nothing new. Khabib, known for his relentless training philosophy, never shied away from enforcing strict habits. However, for Abubakar, this discipline seems to come with a hefty price tag—both literally and figuratively.

Interestingly, Khabib has a history of imposing strict discipline on his team. Back in the day, he famously forced Islam Makhachev and others to train under extreme conditions, a philosophy that helped mold multiple UFC champions. This latest incident with Abubakar is just another example of his unyielding approach. And fans had a field day, reacting to the fate of Abubakar under the tutelage of Khabib.
Fans react to Abubakar’s never-ending streak of bad luck
The MMA community, particularly Reddit, wasted no time reacting to the ongoing struggles of Abubakar. Many sympathized with him, while others couldn’t help but find humor in the situation. One fan sarcastically summed up his situation with, “Bro just wants to play video games and enjoy life. Instead, his PC is destroyed, his car is totaled, and he’s forced to train. Tough luck.” Another fan joked about the inevitability of Khabib’s discipline: “Imagine trying to have a normal life, but your cousin is Khabib. No fun allowed.”
Some fans even turned it into a running joke about Abubakar’s fate stating, “I swear every few months we get a new story about Khabib ruining this dude’s life.” Others referenced Khabib’s unshakable mentality that he’s instilled in fighters like Islam Makhachev and Umar Nurmagomedov: “That Dagestani discipline is undefeated. Khabib doesn’t play games—literally.”
A user pointed out that this kind of strict upbringing is exactly why Khabib and his team have dominated: “This is why Islam is the champ and Umar is undefeated. No distractions, only training.” Meanwhile, some were wondering how long Abubakar could survive under Khabib’s iron rule: “I give him 2 more years before he just disappears to live a normal life somewhere in Europe.”
At this point, it seems Abubakar Nurmagomedov has two choices—follow Khabib’s strict rules and aim for UFC success, or continue to endure the destruction of his personal belongings. One thing is certain: as long as Khabib is watching, distractions will not be tolerated.
