UFC Featherweight Dan Ige sat down with Marc Raimondi from ESPN and went over some interesting stories about Khabib Nurmagomedov recently.

‘50K Ige’ made an appearance to talk about his most recent victory over Gavin Tucker at UFC Fight Night. However, the timing of his interview coincided with the news that Nurmagomedov was well and truly retired from MMA.

‘The Eagle’ fought last at UFC 254 and defended his belt against the interim champion Justin Gaethje via submission. Following the statement victory, Khabib Nurmagomedov took off his gloves and announced his retirement to the world.

While ploys have been made to get him to return for a 30 fight, it’s now clear that Nurmagomedov is truly done.

Nurmagomedov is expected to delve into his role as a coach and bring up the next generation of Dagestani fighters. Islam Makhachev and Umar Nurmagomedov are just a few fighters under the tutelage of ‘The Eagle’.

Many fans and fighters have nothing but good things to say about ‘The Eagle’ based on prior run-ins.
