Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov may permanently leave the mixed martial arts industry, reports Telegram-channel "Ask Rasul".
The source clarifies that the matter concerns coaching and everything related to MMA. It is also noted that going into politics hasn't yet been discussed.
Recall that the day before Nurmagomedov published a post on social networks, addressing his team with words of gratitude.
Take care, brothers. I hope my decision will only do me good, I'm hugging you all tightly. Thank you, you were a big reason for my success in the sport.
