Khabib returning to fight Edwards at UFC 300?

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov may resume his career for a fight with the current belt holder in the welterweight division Leon Edwards at the UFC 300 tournament. This opinion was expressed by a former fighter of the organization, analyst and commentator Chael Sonnen.

“Trainer Javier Mendez said in an interview that Khabib is training with him again. He said: “Khabib always keeps in shape, but he only trains with me when he’s preparing for a fight.” And that's all I know.

There's a reason why Edwards vs. Muhammad still hasn't been scheduled. This was expected and this was planned. Now another option has become available. But there is a reason for this. Khabib trains for a reason,” the Mirror quotes Sonnen.

Let us remember that Nurmagomedov announced his retirement in the fall of 2020.
