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.

It was the third successful title defense of Khabib.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
