UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has said that he has no plans to resume his career.

“You can fight up to 40 years old, but there must be a goal. I had a goal to get to the top, I got there. Now I have no competitive interest any more,” the fighter said.

The other day, UFC President Dana White said that at stake in McGregor's rematch with Poirier there will not be a lightweight title, because White is confident that Khabib will return.
