What is Nassourdine Imavov’s nationality, ethnicity, and religion?
Nassourdine Imamov has quite a unique background regarding his ethnicity and nationality. The six-foot-two fighter was born in Dagestan, Russia. The same place UFC legend Khabib hails from. But Nassourdine is not Russian anymore.
This is because when he was 9 years old, Nassourdine and his family shifted to France, where he spent all of his years growing up and nurturing into the fine fighter that he is today. It was here in France that Nassourdine, along with his elder brother Daguir, started to learn boxing.

Some believe that he is Christian, while others believe that he was brought up with Islamic traditions while in Dagestan.
