Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has retired from the mixed martial arts (MMA) industry. This was reported to TASS by three informed sources.
According to the interlocutors of the agency, the fighter decided to spend more time with his family. From now on, he will not train and be present with the team at the training camp, the source said.
Nurmagomedov defended the champion title three times, after which he retired. The athlete won 29 victories in 29 professional fights under the rules of MMA. The Russian held his last fight in October 2020, being stronger than the American Justin Gaethje.
Earlier, Nurmagomedov revealed the goal for the next ten years. The athlete said that he intends to maintain a weight of 93 kilograms for the sake of working as a coach. “I want to look good at this job. I want to be on a par with the guys at CrossFit,” he said.
