      Ibraghimov, 19, regularly rubs shoulders with some of the biggest British names in the sport – including former UFC title challenger Darren Till and PFL star Brendan Loughnane.
      The teen sensation is well and truly on track to make it to the UFC – but his brothers could end up becoming bigger stars than him.
      Ibragimov’s younger brothers – Amir and Gazik – are working their way through the ranks of Manchester United’s youth teams.
      Amir, 15, is considered to be one of the best prospects in United’s academy and was recently invited to train with the first team.

      The midfielder has seemingly already been earmarked for a future leadership role having captained United-14s and Under-15s.
      His displays for the club’s younger teams have seen him rewarded with five appearances for the Under-18s.
      Despite also being held in high regard by the club’s coaches, Gazik, 14, has yet to be called up to train with the senior Red Devils.
      Amir and Gazik are often cheered on by their fighting brother Ibraghim, who proudly shares their highlights and achievements on his Instagram.

      Amir and Gazik aren’t the only members of the Ibraghimov family trying to make it at the Premier League giants.
      The duo’s youngest brother Muhammad is also on the club’s books following a move from Manchester City’s academy last November.
      The starlet was proud as punch with his move to United, which he lauded with his near 7,000 Instagram followers.
      Along with a snap of himself holding up a club shirt, he wrote: “Here to create history.”
      Given United’s recent willingness to promote academy stars to the first team and give them starts – Kobbie Mainoo being a testament to the fact – it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that either Amir or Gazik will be handed full debuts in the coming years.
      And who knows, they could by then have a UFC star of a brother cheering them on at Old Trafford.

      And despite making it to the game in the nick of time, was left out of the squad and replaced by his cousin Fabrice OndoaCredit: AFP
      The initial plan was that he would then jet immediately to the Ivory Coast in order to play Cameroon’s Afcon opener against Guinea the very next day.
      But once he reached the Ivory Coast, his plane for the last leg of his journey was blocked due to bad weather, making him late to link up with the squad for in Yamoussoukro.
      While he did reach the at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in time for kick off, he was left out of the squad entirely, much to his fury according to reports.
      The keeper was heard asking Liverpool legend El-Hadj Diouf why he had even bothered charting a private jet to make it for the game if he was going to be left out of the squad anyway.

      And despite Ondoa, 28, playing in the French third tier for Nimes, he now has far more caps for Cameroon compared to Onana.
      Ondoa boasts 49 total appearances while Onana has 37.
      And the 28-year-old has proved himself an able deputy for his cousin in the past, stepping in when Onana temporarily retired from international duty last year.

      The United stopper retired after a fallout with coach Rigobert Song at the World Cup in 2022 when he was told to kick the ball long rather than pass the ball out from the back.
      Like Onana, Ondoa started his career at Barcelona in the Samuel Eto’o academy but his career has been far more nomadic – playing for clubs in Belgium, Croatia and Latvia.
      He is yet to make an appearance for Nimes this season.
      Onana will be needed for a tough game on Friday against Afcon holders Senegal, who are among the favourites to retain their title. More

      “I just do what I normally do when the lads go out for a warm-up — I have a lie-down on the fitness table and see if I can get my head down for ten minutes.
      “That’s what I did at Newport. I put a chair next to the kit skip, put a coat over me and I had ten minutes.”
