After defeating Justin Gaethje via triangle choke, Khabib Nurmagomedov made a shocking revelation – retirement.
The UFC undisputed lightweight champion was in tears after the victory, knowing that it will be his last fight but mostly dedicating his late father\’s victory.
Nurmagomedov remains unbeaten with 29-0. He still has a lot left for his career. However, the death of his father was a massive blow to him.
His father was there in his fights, supporting him.
Khabib was already emotional when he made the scale during the weigh-in.
“There’s no way I’m going to be back without my father,” he said after the fight.
His father died due to the coronavirus. He was weakened by the disease and was significantly affected because he just had heart surgery.
Adbulmanap Nurmagomedov was also Khabib’s trainer.
This scenario was similar to what happened to Michael Jordan in 1993. After winning the Chicago Bulls\’ third straight championship, Jordan was on the floor crying as he mourned his father, who was killed.
Hence, the similarities also opened a conversation where he stands in the greatest of all-time list in the UFC.
He is placed second all-time. Jon Jones still holds the top spot. But did his recent win made a difference?
It was the third successful title defense of Khabib.
Here is the other noticeable feat the Nurmagomedov made.
Most of her matches have the same faith in a takedown in a single fight match. In 2003, he made 21 successful takedowns against Abel Trujillo.
He had the most gate attendance fight. Khabib-McGregor. One of the most intense matches in UFC history. It shattered several records.
And of course, his clean record of 29 wins and no defeat.
Khabib is \’built differently.\’
On his last fight, UFC President Dana White revealed that the champ had a broken foot and a mump during their training but insisted on going on and fight
ing.

Khabib also amazed everyone with video footage of him wrestling a bear barehanded. Insane, right?
On his preparation against Gaethje, he was seen swimming in a river but against a strong current.
Khabib was built differently. His training is with nature. His dedication and

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
