Khabib: “No one and nothing will make me return to fighting”

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov once again dismissed the possibility of a return to professional sports as a fighter.

“Can the result of the Oliveira-Poirier fight interest me so that I return? No no. To be honest, no. No one and nothing can do or tell me to come back. Nobody and nothing. We already have a person who is supposed to pick up the belt there. His name is Islam Makhachev. He must return the belt to Dagestan. At the end of next year, we will have the belt, ”Nurmagomedov said in an interview with the ESPN YouTube channel.

Oliveira will face Poirier on December 11 at UFC 269 in Las Vegas.
