Khabib Nurmagomedov addresses retirement ⬇️⁣
⁣⁣
“The emotions in this fight were completely different. Everything was completely different without my father. I was offered the fight right after everything happened.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I had the decision to accept it or turn it down, nobody knew about this, or retire, or I could come back, fight and then retire.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now I tell the people close to me that aren’t happy with me retiring that even if I fought 10 more times, I’d still have to face that decision. This decision could come up when I’m 32, 34, 35. It’s a hard decision because I’ve been fighting all my life. I’ve been on the mats for as long as I remember. It’s difficult to leave and do something else.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
People can’t understand it, but what can you do?”⁣
