Khabib Nurmagomedov rejected the offer of UFC president Dana White to return to the octagon and pursue a career at the UFC. Khabib decided to no longer pursue his career as a UFC fighter and withdrew from the world famous forever.
Quoted from Sportbible, Khabib will keep his promise to his mother, Patimat Nurmagomedova, not to fight because he is no longer accompanied by his father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov who died in July 2020.
"I have achieved almost everything in this sport and no one I want to play with now," said Khabib, quoted by Sportbible.
"I know a lot of players who want to achieve this, who are fighting for something. What should I do? Many people don't want to see my site. I don't see it, "added Khabib.
The eagle, nicknamed Khabib, feels that many parties have forced him to return to the octagon. However, the 32-year-old fighter chose to focus on other things, both managing his business and becoming a coach, as he demonstrated by accompanying Umar Nurmagomedov to UFC Fight Night 8.
"Something has to happen for me to come back. And if we talk about my business project, I have a lot to do and a fight is not in the plan, "said Khabib.
“My mother is the most precious thing left. Come on, you won't make me do things that disappoint my mom. I have no plans for the UFC anytime soon, "continued The Eagle.
Khabib retired from UFC and MMA after UFC 254 after defeating Justin Gaethje in October 2020. With this win, Chabib recorded 29 career wins, 13 of which were UFC wins.
