UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev reported that Khabiba Nurmagomedova won’t be in his corner at UFC 284, where he will defend his title against the Australian Alexa Volkanovski .
Earlier it became known that former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov decided to quit the mixed martial arts industry.
“When the cell door closes, no one is there with you. Of course, this time will be different, but I’ve fought several times without Khabib. He doesn’t always have to be with me. It’s always good to have someone as experienced as him. You don’t need to waste your energy thinking about other things like losing weight and so on. But I understand that Khabib needs to spend more time with his family. Because with all the fighting, training, he misses his family too. Despite being retired, Khabib still travels a lot. I understand everything well, – Quotes from Makhacheva fox sports .
UFC 284 takes place on February 12 in Perth, Australia. In his last fight, Makhachev defeated Charles Oliveira. The 31-year-old Russian lightweight has 23 wins and one loss, while Volkanovski has 25 wins and one loss.
