Russian-born Brit Ibragim Ibragimov is making a name for himself in the MMA world
Ibragim Ibragimov, the undefeated British teenage MMA prospect, is on a path to stardom in the world of mixed martial arts. With a perfect 6-0 record, the 19-year-old is highly regarded in the UK's MMA scene and has even had the opportunity to train with some of the biggest names in the sport, including Darren Till and Brendan Loughnane.
Could his footie-playing brothers steal the spotlight?
While Ibragimov is making waves in the MMA world, his younger brothers, Amir and Gazik, are making their own mark as hopefuls in Manchester United's youth teams. Amir, 15, is considered one of the best prospects in United's academy and has already been invited to train with the first team. Gazik, 14, is also highly regarded by the club's coaches but has yet to be called up to train with the senior team.
A family affair at Man Utd
The Ibragimov family is clearly a talented bunch, as their youngest brother Muhammad is also on Manchester United's books after a move from Manchester City's academy. With United's track record of promoting young talent to the first team, it's not out of the realm of possibility that either Amir or Gazik could follow in their brother's footsteps and make their full debuts in the coming years.
Whether it's in the octagon or on the football pitch, the Ibragimov brothers are certainly making a name for themselves in the world of sports. Who knows, we might just see a UFC star cheering on his brothers at Old Trafford in the future!
