Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has said he doesn’t need the money.
“A year ago, I was offered to fight Floyd Mayweather,” Nurmagomedov said in an interview with the ESPN YouTube channel. – Dana then asked Ali: “Why doesn’t Khabib ask me how much he will earn for this fight?” People don’t understand me, I guess… Of course, everyone loves money, it’s very important. But for me, that’s not all. I have money. I’m in order with this. If the Lord gives me time to spend all this money, it will be very good. Making money is one thing. But the second is how to spend them. I ended my career, and now my task is how to manage this money. I’m done with sports, I have my own life. Life behind a cage is also a sport, but a different one.”
Nurmagomedov last fought in October last year, defeating Justin Gaethje via submission at UFC 254.
