When Khabib Nurmagomedov says heās done fighting he means it with every fiber of his being.
āThe Eagleā surprised the mixed martial arts (MMA) world with his retirement announcement after arguably his greatest career performance, defending his Lightweight title with a second round triangle choke against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October 2020. The win marked the 29th straight in the flawless career of Nurmagomedov, who became one of the rare few in the sport to truly go out on top in every sense of the meaning.
The departure from the sport wasnāt the easiest pill to swallow for UFC CEO, Dana White, who tried on numerous occasions to keep Nurmagomedov around. There have been several rumblings in the time since his retirement about exactly how much has been offered for a potential comeback. However, the Dagestan native recently revealed that numbers were higher than could have ever been fathomed.
āWhen you best fighter in the world, when you strong enough, when you have money, when you famous, itās very hard to say no to all these things,ā Nurmagomedov said on UFC Fight Passā Ultimate 30. āItās very hard. Itās not easy. Itās not easy [to] just say no to 20, 30, 40 million dollar. But for myself, itās not everything. This is not most important. It was not easy decision but if I decide, I decide. Itās finished. I leave this alone. I am happy and I never regret with my decision.ā
In 2023, Nurmagomedov isnāt directly involved with MMA the way he used to be immediately after retirement. At Lightweight specifically, Nurmagomedov still hangs around and trains with UFC and Bellator champions, Islam Makhachev and Usman Nurmagomedov, his cousin.

40mil to see him hump other manās leg, maybe no 
He said they offered him 20-40 million to return and he said no years ago when he retired, but total shocker that clickbait Phooey made the thread title sound like he just asked for 20-40 million to come back 
He realizes that wealth is not about moneyā¦The family is set for life, if more people thought like him, the world would be a better placeā¦
Thereās literally no reason for him to come back now. He left as the best LW ever and now Islam is continuing his legacy
Calling Khabib a blanket tells me that you havenāt been a fan for that long. Out of every grappler to fight in mma heās the least likely to be explained as a blanket.
Go back to watching bum fights.
calm down youngster
yeah thats the program Mary Doo Doo
