Dana White, UFC CEO, admitted that it was extremely difficult for him to accept the resignation of the former lightweight champion of the promotion. Khabib Nurmagomedova.
“The end of Khabib’s career was the hardest because Khabib had a lot to offer and a lot to achieve. However, I think that when his father passed away, it took all the happiness away from him and he decided that enough was enough. Moreover, he earned so much that he would not have to do anything in his life,” said the functionary.
Let us remember that Khabib retired in October 2020, winning his farewell fight against Justin Gaethje by choke.
