Khabib Nurmagomedov, a well-known former mixed martial arts fighter and former UFC lightweight champion, told fans at a meeting in Toronto what the difference is between performing in the octagon and securing other fighters.

"When I was a fighter, when I went into the cage, I could control myself, fight my opponent, I could do something.... But when you're a trainer or a second, it's very difficult because all you can do is talk. And nothing else. That's why I prefer to fight than to second.

Personally, I like fighting more than talking, so I prefer to be a fighter," said Khabib.

Recall, Nurmagomedov hung the gloves on the nail in the fall of 2020.
