The head of the UFC said that he tried all the options for another fight Khabib
Dana White said that he tried everything to persuade Nurmagomedov to resume his career, but this will not happen for sure
Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov will never resume his career, although the head of the UFC Dana White did everything possible. White told Bleacher Report.
“Habib will never return. That's definitely not going to happen. Believe me, when he announced his retirement, I tried everything to convince him to fight another fight or stay. He didn't want to. So now I don’t think about hypothetical fights anymore, I can’t stand them. I'm only interested in what's possible here and now, White said.
Nurmagomedov has 29 victories and no defeats in MMA. Khabib won the UFC lightweight title in April 2018. His fight with Conor McGregor, held in 2018, became the highest grossing in the history of MMA. His last fight the Russian held in October 2020 against Justin Gatgie, after which he finished his career. In 2022, he was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
Dana White previously said Khabib's departure "broke his heart," adding that Nurmagomedov "earned so damn much money that he'll never have to do anything again.".
