Blogger, pop-MMA fighter Artem Tarasov shared his opinion on the reasons for the departure of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov from the mixed martial arts industry. He noted that Khabib is unlikely to let go of the fighters he worked with and prepared for fights. Tarasov also suggested that Nurmagomedov might be seriously interested in offering other activities.
“For Khabib, Islam Makhachev, who was almost like a brother, remained. I think he will be with Khabib in the fight. He wasn’t the coach for the fighters who worked with them every day, coming in the morning and saying “start warming up”. On the contrary, he shared his experience, was a sparring partner. In general, it seems to me that Khabib can not get away from MMA, he just decided to take a break and do other serious things. Or maybe he was called somewhere by very serious people, which he could not refuse, and he is really interested in it, ”Tarasov told socialbites.ca.
Information about his departure was confirmed by Khabib by reposting the corresponding entry on social networks. Earlier on Friday, he posted a photo with his team with a thank you and a vague expression: “I hope my decision only benefits.” At the time, the public did not know that Khabib had left MMA.
formerly Tarasov expressed confidenceThat Khabib will not leave MMA entirely.
