UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t looking to stick around in MMA for too much longer, stating he has around two or three years left before he plans to retire from the sport.
The words from Khabib, 31, come shortly after his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, said the undefeated lightweight could retire after his next two fights in the Octagon. Khabib has only fought once in 2019, defending his title aginst Dustin Poirier last month at UFC 242. He said he wants to return in March or April of next year to fight Tony Ferguson.
