Furthermore, Schaub added another reason that could add as a factor for Nurmagomedov’s retirement. The ex-UFC fighter said that paying the Eagle FC fighters in Crypto can also be the reason for an early retirement from coaching.
He said, “I’m f*****g done with it. And then also remember Eagle FC was paying guys in like Crypto. Remember that whole Crypto thing… I think there’s all those factors into it. Dana’s stuff he’s like all right ‘I’m out man, I’m out'”.
These speculations are what Schaub considers are the reasons for the early retirement of ‘The Eagle’. However, the ex-UFC star is far away from the opinion of some other members of the MMA community.
Brendan Schaub goes against the popular opinion for Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement
The reasons Schaub has stated are unpopular and not considered by any person in the MMA community. The majority of the people speaking about the retirement of UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov have cited his family as the main reason. For example, his coach Javier Mendez has clearly stated that Nurmagomedov is a family man and would love to spend some more time with his loved ones in Dagestan, Russia.

Similarly, UFC Legend Chael Sonnen is of the same opinion following the retirement of Nurmagomedov. However, one aspect where Brendan Schaub spoke similarly to the other members of the MMA community is that he too believes Nurmagomedov is a ‘man of his word’. Moreover, Schaub wanted to say that if the ‘Eagle’ said that he has retired, then he will stay retired no matter what people say. Furthermore, he also stated that Nurmagomedov is a man that does not care about the ‘likes’ or ‘clicks’ that his posts get.
What do you think about Brendan Schaub’s comments on the apparent retirement of Khabib Nurmagomedov? Has he got it right with his ‘Dana White’ angle for Nurmagomedov’s retirement?
