All eyes have been on Khabib Nurmagomedov since his controversial UFC 229 win over Conor McGregor .
But who is the woman behind the man who forced The Notorious into submission with a perfectly executed rear naked choke in the fourth round?
The Russian, unlike McGregor, chooses to keep his private life just that.
Although we know he’s married with two children – a son and a daughter – his wife’s name isn’t public knowledge.
However, we can reveal what she looks like in this rare photograph of the couple together.
The lightweight champ, 30, defeated McGregor with relative ease, forcing the Irishman into submission with a rear naked choke in the fourth round.
He then sprung out of the Octagon and attacked McGregor’s training buddy Dillon Danis, sparking a mass brawl during which McGregor was punched by members of the Russian’s team.
It came after McGregor, aka The Notorious, had insulted his family and religion in the weeks leading up to the fight in Las Vegas.
In stark contrast to McGregor – who is often pictured with long-term partner Dee Devlin and son Conor Jr – Khabib tries to keep his wife and children out of the limelight.
He criticised McGregor for taking time off after his son was born.
When his wife was pregnant, he continued to train and fight.
He said: "My wife was pregnant. I didn’t cry one and a half years, ‘Oh my wife’s pregnant’.
“But I came here like a man because I try to stay busy.
“But without injury, I can smash all lightweights.”
