Khabib Nurmagomedov Reveals Team Was Contacted Regarding Return at UFC 300

[The Clark]

There is no fight that makes sense for him. He wouldn't challenge Islam at 155 (and I don't think Khabib could make weight, anyway). After GSP's middleweight title run, they're not going to let him come back and challenge Edwards. Speaking of GSP, the window has closed on what would have been a superfight there. Aside from his vow not to return, I just don't see any logical matchups.

He's made it pretty clear that he's never coming back, and I believe him. He's always struck me as being genuine and caring more about values such as integrity than money. Good for him, it's rare.

UFC needs Soccer money to entice him?

Khabib retired and became a soccer mom

I don't think we see him back. ever

Won't ever happen.
The Nurmagomedov's are royalty now in Dagestan, owning over $20 million worth of land.

I'm not a clinger.

Was a legit question.

Khabib was allegedly offered a fight which would imply he's in the testing pool.

Which begs a few questions...

1. Why remain in the pool if retired?

2. If he's not, does khabib get an exemption?

3. If khabib gets an exemption, why isn't Conor?


Questions MMA journos should be asking about..

I seriously doubt the testing pool still exists. That was the major sticking point between the UFC and USADA. They didn't want to let Conor fight without being in the pool for 6 months and that pissed Dana off.

And if the testing pool still exists, no doubt its with the understanding that the UFC can bypass that when they feel the need.

Danis is a good Lad, Khabib should've actually saluted Danis while kneeling instead.

At this point you have to feel pretty crappy, if they DIDNT contact you regarding UFC300
Seems like everybody is getting “the call” for some BS promo marketing

Not Conor.
