While UFC president Dana White and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz have shown confidence in Khabib’s return to the Octagon, the number one ranked pound for pound fighter in the UFC has made it clear that he has no desire to return.
In his latest Instagram post, Khabib Nurmagomedov shared the commencement of his entrepreneurial journey with the launch of his Mobile network ‘Eagle Mobile’
Khabib wrote in an Instagram post in Russian which translates to:
Khabib had recently interacted with university students in Russian and had mentioned that he had ‘no competitive desire’.
He further added that he wanted to concentrate on his academics and running his farm, for which he had purchased some animals.
The Dagestani fighter’s latest endeavor may further cement his stand to stay outside the Octagon.
