His father is no more. His mother is all he have now. He put an example for us how to listen to your parents.

WHY AM I STILL CRYING....

[OOzd]

Number one pound for pound ever. No positive tests for steroids. Only 32 years of training. This man embodies MMA and respect... Changed the sport forever and will rest un beaten

[samjames]

They all talked the talk, yet couldn't walk the walk..the one who hardly ever talked the talk, actually walked the walk..truly the GOAT of MMA..

"my mother said u can't fight without ur father.. I gave her promise" where do u find a guy like this in this day n

[nugrohoi.s]

" I promise to my mother" ... because he knows " Heaven is under the feet of your mothers, " and he will never argue with his mother.. Respectfull man..

[mahdirahman]

Without a gem like him, the UFC will never be the same again.

"Promised my mother " that guy is 32. Respect your mom and dad. Root to all success. ♥️

[TehNooobWord]

there is nothing left for this legend to prove. The fact he is now 29-0 and doesn't train without his dad is just mad humble and respectful. Didn't expect anything less.

In the Russian part he said "I only got one parent left and I want to spend more time with my mom".

No matter how strong of a man he is, for her mother he's still her baby tho.

This guy could wipe the floor with every lightweight sad to see him go

[mr.shaikhhh]

Undefeated Undisputed. A true true martial artist. This guy was the definition of a once in a lifetime personality, a true role model. God bless him and his family

[MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

I am a Christian but, I look up on the most humble and one of the most talented man to ever done it inside the Octagon. He is a role model for many people in this world, honor and respect.

[KR-pjol]

Such a gentleman :
Respects his opponent.
Respects his family..
Respects his team mates.
Respects his country.

He respects his past.. the world respects him

Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov is the most dominant fighter we’ve EVER seen. He never had any close fights or controversial decisions. No one could even draw blood from this man. True greatest of all time.

[HaiderAli-xnvs]

What a fighter this sport won’t be the same anymore. I know there’s other fighters but he was something else I’m so heartbroken and happy for him

[zakariye]

So sad to see him go. May Allah grant his father Jannah

[shoaibahmed]

Khabib: "I am retiring."

Lightweight strikers: "Alhamdulillah"
