Khabib: My retirement will depend on my father’s decision

UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed that he continues to contemplate retirement but will not finalize his decision until he speak to his father.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has a unique relationship with his father - renowned Dagestani coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Without him, Khabib would likely have never reached the highest levels of MMA.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Khabib will not contemplate retirement until he has the discussion with his father.

"In my life, my father plays a very big role, and I take almost all major decisions only after consulting with the Father," Khabib said on Instagram.
