Dana White has seen countless legends come and go, but according to him the one that hurt the most was watching Khabib Nurmagomedov walk away from the sport.
It’s the story of the elusive 30-0 all over again. Once upon a time, Khabib Nurmagomedov wasn’t one of the greatest UFC fighters to ever live. Back when he was working his way up the UFC rankings, his father had a dream. He wished to see his boy go 30-0 in the most competitive and brutal sport known to man.
Of course, anybody aware of the story knows how the rest goes: Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov tragically passed away shortly before Khabib Nurmagomedov was set to face Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 to attempt to improve his record to 29-0.
