Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov told when exactly he decided to hang up his gloves.

“My father died on July 3rd. About three weeks later, I talked to my mom and made this decision with her. From that moment on, only me and my mother knew about it.

I called Dana White myself because Justin Gaethje had just defeated Tony Ferguson, and I understood that they were waiting for an answer from me. Dana didn’t want to bother me, but I wrote to him: “Bro, I’m in.” Then I knew that this was my last fight, but no one else knew,” Nurmagomedov said in an interview with the UFC Eurasia YouTube channel.
