Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, spoke out during a recent interview about whether or not he could come back and have an exhibition fight under boxing rules. Nurmagomedov was adamant, saying that boxing is "not his thing."
"An exhibition fight under boxing rules? Not my topic at all," Khabib stated.
Khabib Nurmagomedov ended his fighting career in October 2020, winning his farewell fight with a choke hold against Justin Gaethje. At the time of the end of his career, "The Eagle" had a perfect 29-0 record.
Recall, Khabib promised his mother that the fight with Gaethje would be his last, and that he would never enter the octagon again.
