Khabib Nurmagomedov has retired and it is almost going to be a month since that. The Dagestani fighter thoroughly dominated Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, ultimately winning via. submission in only the second round. He then stunned the world announcing his retirement in the post-fight interview, revealing that he had promised his mother, he wouldn’t fight without his late father by his ringside and that the Justin Gaethje fight would be his last fight.

Despite Khabib’s retirement, there are speculations that Khabib might return one day, although the Russian is tight lipped about that. Recently, Khabib’s teammate Josh Thomson, speaking in an interview revealed the fight which might prompt Khabib to comeback.

“Him and Khabib at 165 makes a lot of sense” – Josh Thomson

Speaking in an interview with RT Sport, Josh Thomson said, “The only fight that is available for Khabib, and who knows if this will happen, is the GSP fight. If that fight was to happen, that would be the only fight that I would suggest for Khabib to come back for, because that is a legacy fight, that is a fight that the world would tune in to see, and there would be no other fighter for him to fight outside of that.“

He went on, saying, “Him and Khabib at 165 makes a lot of sense. They can fight for a GOAT belt or a Legacy Belt, or whatever they want to call it. That to me is the fight to make. I don’t see any other fight that would warrant him even bothering to come back. Either one of them, GSP or Khabib, there’s no other fight for them to come back for.”
