Khabib Nurmagomedov drew my attention to MMA and I became an avid fan of the sport after his success spilled out into the mainstream. His father Abdulmanap Magomedovich Nurmagomedov is a well known coach in Russia and his son left the sport undefeated as lightweight champion with a record of 29 - 0. At the end of April 2020 Abdulmanap died of complications from COVID-19.

Abdulmanap's favorite pupil Islam is next in line to take the title. Islam has a chance to realize his former coach's dream and follow in the footsteps of his friend and lifelong training partner. This is "Father's Plan".

To show my support for the fighters that drew me into the sport I designed a shirt and then decided to have some fun with lighting and self-portraiture.
