Although no one from the Nurmagomedov family has confirmed the reports yet, news outlets from Russia reported on the matter, stating that Nurmagomedov’s father Abdulmanap has been hospitalized in Moscow, Russia with “suspected pneumonia”.

State-sponsored media outlet RT confirmed the reports, saying that Nurmagomedov’s father indeed is in a critical condition and was recently flown to a military hospital in Moscow after mistreatment at a hospital in Dagestan.

Once that news came out, White shared a heartfelt message of support to Nurmagomedov and his family via his Instagram page.
