Khabib Nurmagomedov decided to leave his gloves inside the Octagon and conclude his hall-of-fame career after going 29-0 with a big victory over Justin Gaethje.
The lightweight champion didn’t participate at the UFC 254 post-fight press conference. So for those wishing to hear more from him after his final fight, Khabib did issue a message to his Russian speaking fans, which wasn’t really translated on the broadcast.
In his retirement speech, Nurmagomedov discussed his humble beginnings from the mountains of Dagestan to becoming a massive global star and UFC champion. After his father and coach passed away, Khabib also stated how he now wants to spend as much time as he can with his mother.
