Jakarta –
Khabib Nurmagomedov has retired from the UFC. But suppose if your last opponent was Tony Ferguson, it would have been a lot of fun!
UFC 254 at Fight Island, Abu Dhabi on Sunday (10/25) yesterday was Khabib Nurmagomedov’s last octagon. The Dagestan fighter was challenged by Justin Gaethje.
Khabib was then able to beat Justin Gaethje in just two rounds. Through the strangulation of the triangle, Justin had to surrender.
Khabib Nurmagomedov then declared his retirement and closed his career with a 29-0 winning record. Khabib withdrew from the UFC due to his mother’s orders to stop fighting after Abdulmanap (Khabib’s father) passed away in July.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is indeed a phenomenal fighter. From no one, to champion in the UFC lightweight class, and now he’s become a legend.
But alas, he tries to make the last opponent not Justin Gaethje but Tony Ferguson. It must be more exciting …
In fact, the UFC has prepared the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson duel at UFC 249 for last April. Unfortunately, the Corona pandemic has hit, UFC is confused.
The United States bans all kinds of sporting events. As a result, the Khabib vs Tony duel could not be held.
“I asked Dana White (UFC red president), so where will our duel take place? Dana replied, in Abu Dhabi,” Khabib said as reported by the official UFC website.
“I immediately flew there and Abu Dhabi also wanted a closure. Then I returned to Russia, because all flights to the United States were suspended,” Khabib said.
In fact, the two of them had a press conference. In fact, the two got so horny that Khabib kicked Tony Ferguson’s interim champion belt.
