Fans could never have imagined a world with two Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, the recent Paris Olympics 2024 has stirred up significant buzz and some criticism during the opening week. Now, excitement is building around Magomed Ramazanov, who resembles the famous UFC legend. The resemblance has sparked amusing reactions from fans on social media.
The Dagestani Ramazanov has clinched the men’s freestyle 86kg gold medal with a 7-1 win. But rather than his twin, fans are more hyped about his look, which resembles Khabib. On X, fans commented on their thoughts, and one fan wrote, “White version of Khabib.”

Fans never miss a chance to buzz about their favorite fighter. However, Khabib has not responded to the news, and Ramazanov has not commented on the comparisons. Despite being retired, Khabib continues to train with his teammates and is reaching new heights in his career.
Merab Dvalishvili Alleges Umar Is Using Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Fame for Success
After Umar Nurmagomedov’s dominating win Over Cory Sandhagen in UFC Abu Dhabi, Merab Dvalishvili accused Umar of benefiting from having UFC Legend on his side, suggesting that’s why he was achieving more in less time.
“He has a push because we all know why. He’s Khabib’s cousin. He’s a good fighter. I have all the respect [for] him,” Dvalishvili said.
Merab Dvalishvili says Umar Nurmagomedov is only being pushed because he’s Khabib’s cousin and didn’t earn his way to the top.
“It’s like cheating a little bit to get here. I have 12 fights in the UFC, I beat like 7 or 8 ranked fighters.”

Merab feels disheartened, reflecting on how, despite his hard work, he wasn’t sure about getting a title fight until just two weeks ago. He acknowledged Umar as a good fighter but expressed skepticism about the ease with which Umar reached this level, saying, “It’s like cheating a little bit to get here.”
‘The Machine,’ who has fought 12 times in the UFC and defeated seven or eight ranked fighters, notes that Umar hasn’t faced any ranked opponents yet.
Overall, Khabib has achieved great success and continues to help his teammates reach new heights. Now, Umar is set to receive a title shot against the winner of Merab vs. Sean O’Malley. It will be exciting to see who Umar will face next.
