Not everyone can retire at their peak, but I know that in a year, two of five years I’d have to face that decision again. I did enough in the sport to be considered the best. Today, I was ranked as the No.1 pound-to-pound fighter, so the mission is accomplished. What else is there to do? Make money? I’ll always be able to do that.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov feels that he has achieved his fighting goals. But he did not discuss his plans for the belt, nor he makes any statements about what he would like to see the UFC do with the title. Khabib talks about Islam Makhachev “Life goes on, and our MMA academy is still running,” Nurmagomedov said.

“Islam Makhachev got a fight on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas against a former lightweight champion (Rafael dos Anjos). It’s a major event for our team. Like my father said when I leave there’ll be another champion. There won’t be another guy like me. it’ll be hard to repeat what I did. We are planning for Islam to win his fight and fight again before Ramadan to become a contender for the belt. Then next year in September or October, he’ll be here with his belt.”

Khabib Nurmagodov’s decision to retire is something he kept to himself, said by everyone around him.

Khabib Nurnagomedov’s mother doesn’t want him to fight again. He promised his mother that he will not fight again in the UFC. According to everyone around him, Nurmagomedov’s decision to retire is something he kept to himself. Even his mother was thrown off by the timing of his announcement. “Well, the emotions ran high,” Nurmagomedov said. “She knew, but I don’t think she expects me to announce it right after the fight. I did promise her that this would be my last fight, so she was aware.”
