MMA World Praises Khabib Nurmagomedov On Heels Of Retirement Announcement

If you’re an MMA fan or not, the news from UFC 254 has reached far and wide. 29-0, arguably the P4P best in the world, 13-0 in the UFC, the Greatest lightweight fighter on the planet, and I’m sure I could go on… but Khabib Nurmagomedov has announced his retirement.

In a very raw and emotional post fight interview, Khabib, honoring his word to his mother, said it was his last fight.

After the loss of his Father earlier in the year, it was very well publicized that Khabib had been struggling with the passing but the retirement sent shockwaves through the fight game. Universally respected among other fighters, many big names offered their thoughts on Twitter.

He’s definitely #1 pound for pound!! Congratulations on a great career #UFC254
