Khabib Nurmagomedov has unveiled another factor that would prevent him from returning to the Octagon.
Nurmagomedov withdrew after a technical entry victory over Justin Gaethje in 2020. “De Adelaar” ran away from the MMA competition because of the wishes of his mother, who wanted him to retire after the death of Abdulmanap, the father of Nurmagomedov. Nurmagomedov withdrew with a perfect pro MMA record of 29-0 and he became a UFC Hall of Famer.
Although the death of Abdulmanap played a crucial role in Nurmagomedov’s decision to hang his gloves, there is another reason for him to stay out of effect. During an appearance on “Hustle Show,” Khabib Nurmagomedov explained how the need for long -term preparation for his age, 36, is a good reason for him to prevent a comeback (H/T Mmafighting).
“You can’t just say:” Give me six months, I’ll be ready, “said Nurmagomedov.” No. To get into Vecht form, to return to your old form, you need a lot of time. But when I was still on the moisture before I retired, I also regularly trained and that was enough for me. It worked. If I got a fight, boom, I closed everything in 100 days. Fully traveling, no travel, no business contracts, no business contracts. I trained morning and night, morning and night, in the morning and at night, just rest on Sunday.
“If I even missed one of those two-day sessions, as I said before, I would get a panic attack, because I knew I had to fight and it felt it was out of hand. As if I was not finished. Like that Cage door was about to lock up.”
Nurmagomedov is still heavily involved in the MMA sport and coaches, among other things, the former UFC light weight champion Islam Makhachev. Nurmagomedov will be in the ear of Makhachev prior to a large UFC Welterweight Championship collision against title holder Jack della Maddalena.
