Cormier: Nurmagomedov’s departure from MMA for the sake of his family shows how special he is

Down-the-line.com/MMA. Former UFC two-weight class champion Daniel Cormier has commented on ex-champ Khabib Nurmagomedov’s decision to leave MMA. The Russian completed his sports career in 2020. But the other day he announced that he was leaving MMA altogether. Nurmagomedo wants to spend more time with his family.

“When Khabib retires from MMA, I think about it like that. I think about how important it is for him to spend time with his family. I think he’s in such a situation now, going through a moment of his life where he doesn’t want to miss anything important and work takes everything away.

Khabib is a family man. And he is not ready to lose these moments. He wants to spend more time with his children, his wife, his mother. Of course we know how important his mother is to him, he quit MMA because of her. In my opinion, this situation shows how special he is,” Cormier said as quoted by MiddleEasy.
