Khabib beat Gaethje in the second round by submission via a triangle choke. After his win, Khabib announced that he would no longer be fighting. Khabib explained how he promised his mother that his fight with Gaethje would be his last. "This is my last fight, there's no way I'm going to be back without my father."Khabib's father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, passed away in early July. He was Khabib's coach, and was a major part of Khabib's success in the octagon.
Khabib's record is 29-0-0
I've had the pleasure of watching Khabib beat the crap out of Conor McGregor, and also the satisfaction of watching his last win against Gaethej. He is definitely a cerebral assassin, and it is a shame that he has to retire at the height of his career. However, just like most people, I respect that he made a promise to his mother.
