Khabib Nurmagomedov might fight again in the UFC

Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from the sport after choking Justin Gaethje unconscious at UFC 254. Knowing the undefeated Dagestani’s character, many believed we may never see him fight again. But he is set to meet with UFC President Dana White later this month in Abu Dhabi.

White wants to lure Nurmagomedov out of retirement to fight in the Octagon at least one more time. With Conor McGregor set to return against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, there are suggestions of a rematch of the biggest UFC fight in history, should the Irishman get past Poirier.

Will UFC fans get to see ‘The Eagle’ back in the octagon, or will they be resigned to seeing him solely on his social media accounts as he continues to update fans about himself?
