Jakarta –
The announcement of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement apparently shocked the coach, who had just found out about this. But he understood that the decision was made because Khabib truly loved his family, especially his mother.
Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement after defeating Justin Gaethje in the main game ‘UFC Fight Island’ in Abu Dhabi. He retired with a 29-0 record.
“I just found out when he gave his speech. Immediately my jaw dropped. I was like, ‘What ?!’ Australian Presentation Radio.
“This is really a big surprise for me. In the end, his mother’s plan came true. His mother’s wish was that he would not fight without his father and that is what he did. And that must be respected,” he continued, according to reported the company. RT.com.
Javier Méndez later stated that he understood Khabib Nurmagomedov’s decision to retire even though he was still the dominant figure in the world he was currently in.
“This sport is not a long-term sport, some go in, some go out. And he comes out when he feels the time is right for him and his family,” Mendez said.
“For me, of course, I still want him to continue to 30-0 like his father wanted him to. But he loves his mother and family so much that it is time for him (to retire).”
“And financially he’s ready. So he’s not a greedy person. And you know exactly, as I know, he’ll be paid a huge reward if he continues one more fight.”
“But of course for him, behind everything he does, family has a greater meaning than property,” Javier Méndez said of Khabib Nurmagomedov.
