As being reported, Khabib Nurmagomedov was having mumps prior to the championship match but also had to deal with broken bones.
Before he broke a toe in his foot, Khabib had mumps. Coach Javier Mendez just told me that was the worst camp they had and he was out two weeks cuz of the mumps. Got it in mid-September. #UFC254
