Khabib Nurmagomedov Announces His Retirement at UFC 254

UFC 254 went down this weekend at fight island in Abu Dhabi. Deep card that featured the best UFC fighter of this generation Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Justin Gaethje. As we expected Khabib dominated and put the pressure on Gaethje as soon as the fight started. Gaethje was attacking the right leg and Khabib took advantage in the second round as soon as he saw the kick coming and took him eventually putting him in a triangle choke putting him to sleep. 

What was unexpected was Khabib announcing his retirement and leaving his gloves in the middle of the ring. He was very emotional due to his father passing away at age 57 and he was a big part of his fighting career. Kinda of sad news but you have to respect his decision and we are thankful to see him fight. Check out his announcement above and fight highlights below.
