MMA community reacts to Khabib’s unexpected retirement post UFC 254 win over Gaethje

in UFC

The much awaited UFC 254 is done and dusted and what a night it was. Khabib showed that he is indeed the “Greatest of all Time” with some unbelievable display. He was just too good for Justin. And what’s more, Khabib announced his retirement from the sport, citing the death and eventual unavailability of his father. It was a sight to behold, as the tough Dagestani broke down uncontrollably after beating Justin.

Khabib left the world in awe, and this is how top fighters and the MMA community reacted to his victory and his eventual retirement.

“Respect and condolences to you and your family” – Conor McGregor

I want to congratulate Khabib for an outstanding career. I know he made his father along with millions of fans around the world incredibly proud today. May God continue to bless him on his journey.

Yours sincerely, The McGregors.

Incredible mental toughness to carry that weight and perform to that standard.

He told nobody.
Not even Javier Mendez.

I hope @TeamKhabib can find some peace and happiness away from the octagon.
