Khabib And Dana White Commemorate The Late Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov At UAE Warriors 15 In Abu Dhabi
The news of Khabib retiring was a shock of everyone watching the fight on the night of October, 25 2020. “Today, I want to say this is my last fight. No way am I coming here without my father,” Khabib said.
The MMA champion took the decision as a promise to his mother to not fight without his father who passed away in June, 2020. Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, was his coach.
