Russian boxer, former IBF and IBO light welterweight world champion Edward Troyanovsky believes that Khabib Nurmagomedov will not be able to completely leave the MMA industry, because he has devoted his entire life to it.
On Thursday, Nurmagomedov posted a photo with the fighters on a social network, signing: “Take care of your brothers. I hope my decision will only be beneficial, I hugged you all.
“I think he might not leave at all. A person who has spent his whole life on this cannot leave at all. He will always be involved in mixed martial arts – in his promotion or otherwise. He is the face of MMA in Russia. And he just can’t finish. You know, it is very difficult for a person who has devoted his whole life to this to walk away from it, – Gazeta.Ru quotes Troyanovsky.
Nurmagomedov became UFC lightweight champion in April 2018 and officially retired in March 2021. Under his guidance, Islam Makhachev and Usman Nurmagomedov won the championship titles in the UFC and Bellator lightweight divisions, respectively.
