Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, commented on the loss Luke Rockhold in a fight with Paulo Costa.
“I even took part in the preparation of Rockhold. We worked in America for about a month and a half. To be honest, for me it was the most important fight in this card. This is a person very close to me, from whom I learned a lot in terms of working from above. Yes, it was hard, but what to do? When you are 37-38 years old, compete at a high level... I have always said and now I am of the same opinion - there are never two peaks. It had a peak in 2014-16, and then it went down. Whether he wants it or not, all fighters face it."
Recall that Rockhold lost to Costa by a decision at UFC 278. After this fight, he decided to end his career.
