Former undisputed lightweight champion and Hall of Fame inductee, Khabib Nurmagomedov has confirmed that amid continued speculation regarding a potential return to fighting, he will never step foot inside the Octagon again — vehemently ruling out a return to the UFC.
Nurmagomedov, a former undisputed lightweight champion, who ended his career back in 2020, managed to end his decorated career in professional mixed martial arts, boasting an unbeaten 29-0 professional record.
And retaining that lightweight crown on three successful occasions, Dagestani grappler, Nurmagomedov landed a second round triangle choke win over former interim champion, Justin Gaethje in their title unification fight — to add to title fight victories over both Dustin Poirier, and Conor McGregor.
