The legacy that Khabib Nurmagomedov has left behind as a mixed martial artist will remain unparalleled for years to come. The Dagestani fighter has inspired countless others to follow in his footsteps. Nurmagomedov’s achievements inside the Octagon speak volumes about his greatness. Needless to say, he will go down as one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Nurmagomedov’s words of wisdom have inspired the new generation of fighters. ‘The Eagle’s advice has helped countless others achieve success and get on the right path. Earlier today, the undisputed lightweight champion put out the following post with a caption that will to inspire his followers.

“Make the body suffer difficulties for the bliss of the spirit and do not force the spirit to suffer for the bliss of the body. Truly, bliss and torment of the spirit are more meaningful and lasting than the bliss and suffering of the body!” (words are not mine, but how great they are.) – translated from Russian to English.

Is Khabib Nurmagomedov retired?

Soon after his emphatic win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 last month, Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from the sport. ‘The Eagle’ stated that he can no longer step inside the Octagon without his father by his side. He added that he will respect his words given to his mother.

However, there’s a reason to believe that Nurmagomedov might make a return to the UFC in near future. Earlier, White had stated that ‘The Eagle’ will remain the UFC’s lightweight champion despite announcing his retirement from the sport.

The UFC President shared his thoughts on the entire situation. He believes Nurmagomedov will make a return to finish with 30-0 as it was his father’s dream.

White said, “He’s considering the 30-0. His father wanted it, and I think that he was super-emotional. (He) had the mumps, measles or whatever, broken toe, trained on a stationary bike for that fight, and then came in and fought, and he was super-emotional.”
