Speaking of his earnings, though his wealth is not disclosed, we are sure the athlete makes plenty of fortune from the different events. Similarly, in the UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Magny, the Russian fighter’s total payout was around $73,500. Thence, we can conclude that Umar Nurmagomedov’s net worth could be much higher than our estimation.
Not to mention Umar’s cousin Khabib Nurmagomedov’s total wealth is estimated to be $40 million. For the records, Khabib is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters to ever compete in the arena. He retired from the UFC in 2020 with an undefeated record of 29 victories and zero losses.

Umar could be single right now, or he could just be a good secret keeper. Similarly, the fighter has kept his previous romances a secret.
Despite this, the ferocious fighter is currently focusing on his career. As a result, making assumptions about Umar Nurmagomedov’s girlfriend is pointless.
Apart from that, when asked about his motto being in UFC, the World amateur MMA champion said that he too wants to accomplish what his cousin has. This makes us believe that Umar is also taking the proper guidance from his older brother/cousin to make his name in the UFC world.
