"My goal was to become the best, to become champion as it has to be. But when I decided to finish, I finished," Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Even though Khabib Nurmagomedov's career came to an end in 2020, people continue to ask him if he has any plans to fight again. One of the greatest lightweights of all time, the Russian rejected the idea of returning to the MMA scene and declared that he had no desire to engage in combat.
"Sincerely, no. I go to the gym and train when the lack of feeling strikes again. There, I expend my energies. But no, not to return to the octagon. Not inside my heart, but in my hands, was my entire life. Never was it inside of my heart "He revealed it on the podcast "The Muslim Money Guys."
"Of course I do; after all, work should be enjoyed. I was a huge sports fan because I wanted to be the best and a champion in the proper sense. But once I made the decision to finish, I did "stated Khabib.
In fact, Khabib is instructing his students in this new field with whom he has already achieved a number of successes. Islam Makhachev will compete against Charles Oliveira in the UFC 280 main event this coming Saturday for the lightweight championship. "The Eagle" is seen as Khabib's heir.
"Nothing (he stated regarding a possible return if Charles Oliveira won) (he said about a possible return if Charles Oliveira won). Just let this sport be. Some champion will always exist without my name on it. Because he won't live there his entire life, it will be Charles, Islam, or another name after Islam "Finally, he said.
