Chael Sonnen, former UFC fighter, spoke out on why Khabib Nurmagomedov ended his career relatively early.
"The main reason fighters retire is because they don't want to drop weight. Take Khabib for example: if he had continued to compete, his record would have been 30-0-0. However, he wouldn't change weight classes, he would just add new numbers to his record. If you asked Khabib [if he would like to fight again], you would get a positive answer. Nurmagomedov left the sport because he stopped dropping weight to 70 kg. It's true. There's no difference between Khabib and other fighters. That's the main reason why guys retire," Sonnen was quoted as saying by Bloody Elbow.
