Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje yesterday night by sending him to sleep with a triangle choke. With this win Khabib extended his perfect MMA record to 29-0.
Emotions were high on the night as this was Khabib’s first fight without his father and coach, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, by his side – who passed away in July due to complications caused by COVID-19, what few knew was that it was also Khabib’s last fight.
Soon after he was declared winner, Khabib laid his gloves down in the Octagon and announced his retirement, stating that he had promised his father that he wouldn’t fight without him by his side.
