Boxer hit with lifetime ban after illegal KO is spotted training with Khabib Nurmagomedov

Abdurashidov fought again on June 17, facing Chinese prospect Mulati Yimahazi at JCK Fight Night 100.

He did not land another highlight-reel head kick, but he still made short work of his opponent inside the octagon.

The bout began with both fighters exchanging powerful blows. Yimahazi then attempted a double-leg takedown, but Abdurashidov countered by dropping to his back and securing a guillotine choke.

This rendered Yimahazi unconscious, leading to Abdurashidov’s fifth consecutive win in the first round.

Idris Abdurashidov links up with Khabib Nurmagomedov in training

Idris has been working with Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former UFC Lightweight champion who retired unbeaten in 2020.

Khabib’s wrestling was among the best ever seen in the Octagon, and his submission victories over fighters like Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier built that reputation.

It would not be surprising if some of that influence is starting to show in Abdurashidov’s style now that they have spent time training together.

‘The Aggressor’ posted a photo from one of their sessions on Instagram, showing himself alongside others after a workout. The caption simply read: “After hard work.”

If he can continue to put his past controversies behind him and build on this momentum, training with someone like Khabib could play a major role in where his career goes next.
