Dos Anjos on Khabib’s injury and potential retirement: ‘I feel really bad for him’

UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos shows his support for Khabib Nurmagomedov following the Dagstani’s latest injury.

Rafael dos Anjos may have a score to settle with lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, the last fighter who defeated him prior to winning the title. However, that has not stopped the UFC lightweight champion from showing his support for the injured Dagestani.

Khabib, who was scheduled to make his first in-cage appearance since April 2014, suffered his third consecutive injury and was forced to withdraw once again from a scheduled bout. The injury sustained was a broken rib.
