KHABIB DAD DIES AFTER COVID FIGHT UFC coach passes away at just 57

- BY ROBERT HYNES news@irishmirro­r.ie

WOAH! Are you going to Barbados, Coleen Rooney?

It looked like Coleen, 34, was planning a getaway from her Rebekah Vardy court case strife as she left a swimwear boutique in chilly Cheshire with two bags.

The good news is Barbados is now on the UK’S air bridge list.

So she and husband Wayne, 34, can head there with kids Kit, four, Klay, seven, Kai, 10, and Cass, two, like they did in 2019.

THE father of UFC star Khabib Nurmagomed­ov has died from Covid-19 complicati­ons, it was confirmed yesterday.

Coach Abdulmanap passed away at a Moscow hospital aged just 57 after a battle with coronaviru­s.

The MMA coach suffered a heart attack after being diagnosed with the deadly bug and was twice placed into a medically-induced coma.

His condition had been reported as “serious but stable” in recent weeks.

He had been cleared of Covid-19, but had complicati­ons with his kidneys and heart as a result of the virus. Conor Mcgregor’s coach John Kavanagh posted yesterday: “A genius of combat sports and absolute inspiratio­n to so many up and coming fighters.”

His death comes just over a week after Mcgregor claimed his illness was a ruse for Khabib pulling out of a bout with Tony Ferguson in May.

The Notorious posted: “I figured it was all just a cover up about Abdulmanap. A cover up to hide the lack of activity and the pulling out of fights and running away.

“Good luck but remember – Allah sees all.”

Khabib & Conor
