Former UFC champion in two weight classes Daniel Cormier spoke about the departure of the former UFC lightweight champion Khabiba Nurmagomedova of mixed martial arts, calling the Russian a special fighter.
Nurmagomedov had previously 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. Later, his trainer Javier Mendez said that the athlete’s departure from the MMA industry was because he wanted to spend more time with his family.
– Khabib’s departure is proof that he is special. He’s a very family guy. I understand that he does not want to miss some of the moments that happen in life, — quotes the words of Cormier MMA News.
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.
