Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC lightweight champion, pound-for-pound #1 on the UFC’s official rankings, retired after his successful title defence against interim champion Justin Gaethje last Saturday. But apparently the 29-0, undefeated Russian is already in talks to return to the sport. UFC President Dana White told MMA reporter Zach Gelb that “Khabib and I have been talking… he was, completely emotional that night when he got through that fight, I have a feeling that he might be going for 30 and 0… his dad wanted him to get the 30 and 0, and I think he wants to honour his dad’s wish.
