Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed his on perspective on the MMA GOAT debate in a congratulatory message to Jon Jones.
UFC CEO Dana White announced that Jones was retiring during a post-fight press conference following the promotion’s first ever trip to Azerbaijan this past Saturday, and “Bones” later confirmed the news on social media. The decision came after a lengthy wait for the UFC to book a title unification bout between Jones and Tom Aspinall.
While Jones’ reluctance to accept a fight against Aspinall while holding up the heavyweight division may tarnish his legacy in the eyes of some critics, it apparently didn’t have the same effect on Nurmagomedov.
