Much has been said and written about Khabib Nurmagomedov over the past two months, a lot of it dealing with the ill-timed sickness that forced Nurmagomedov to withdraw from UFC 209 a day before his interim UFC title fight against Tony Ferguson.
But a few other things have been floated about Nurmagomedov of late as well, including reports that the 28-year-old’s father is pushing for “The Eagle” to retire within the next couple years. And according to Nurmagomedov, those reports just aren’t true.
“Nobody is trying (to get me to retire),” Nurmagomedov said Monday on The MMA Hour.
