Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said that the president of the league, Dana White, does not abandon attempts to persuade the fighter to resume his career.
“If he was a fighter, he would never give up. He would be knocked out, he would fall asleep after being strangled. But he still wouldn’t given up.
A couple of weeks ago Abdel-Aziz (Khabib’s manager) told me that Dana called him and asked: “Why does Khabib never ask how much money I will offer him?” I answered him: “Are you asking me?” I’m not interested in this anymore.
I made a decision, but Dana doesn’t give up. Even the entire UFC office in Las Vegas, where all the people work, think that I am pricing myself up. That I am finished, but if you want to convince me, give me money. There is a feeling that they think so. But over time, they will understand, ” Nurmagomedov said in an interview with the YouTube channel UFC Russia.
