ACA fighter Albert Tumenov believes that Khabib Nurmagomedov chose the perfect time to announce his retirement from the MMA industry.
– I think Khabib chose the right moment. Islam (Makhachev) and Usman (Nurmagomedov) became champions, Khabib did his job. How does sport interfere with the family? In his case, it is very difficult, because Nurmagomedov is a superstar. Constant flights, press conferences, interviews prevented me from spending time with my family. He has a huge team, he constantly prepares his guys, participates in the process. He must have had enough. When you prepare for a fight, you fly away from home for two or three months. It’s a difficult moment, I understand that. Coaching is very difficult, you put in a lot of effort and exhaust your nervous system, – Metaratings quotes Tumenov.
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.
