Dana White: Khabib won’t even return for a grappling match

Unlike many fighters who retired in their prime, former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov seems to be one of the few ones who plan to stick to their decision. “The Eagle” apparently turned down offers from the UFC and likely won’t accept them for any amount of money, at least according to people close to him.

White previously stated that he “won’t push it” if his former fighter continues to say no. But as he said in a recent appearance on the Jim Rome Show, White gave it another shot, this time with something different.
