Khabib Nurmagomedov shows impressive weight gain and physical transformation

Khabib Nurmagomedov was known to compete in MMA weighing in at just under 70KG and standing at 5’8 in height. Here, he dominated the MMA world and retired as a UFC Champion with a record of 29-0. However, one thing known about the Dagestani wrestler was that he would infamously cut weight in a grueling fashion. Sometimes, his cuts were so big that he simply couldn’t fight as a result and in MMA, weight cutting can sometimes be a dangerous exercise.

Speaking on Instagram, he wrote “When hard work and discipline become friends, they quickly come to success.” (translated from Russian). And showed off his impressive physical weight gain and transformation. Here, it’s clear that he’s packed on size and muscle. A speculative guess would rank Khabib weighing slightly over 90KG here which means that he’s even stronger than before.

Over the years, many have speculated that this is his natural weight in between fighting. Sadly, some even accused him of being fat after retirement, simply because his face was no longer gaunt. Even though he’s retired, Khabib still trains regularly. See the picture below to check out Khabib’s huge weight gain.
