The end of an Era. Khabib time is no more, but his legacy is immortalized in the sport. Thank you for everything you have done in and out of the ring Khabib.

[standavison]

Smart man. He is not letting others define him. He is setting the goals and values of his own life. Amazing.

[abdullzain]

Alhumdulillah ! What a legend, he will be missed

I don't respect Khabib Nurmagomedov as an MMA fighter, as a UFC fighter, as a dominant force, as a champion, as a pound for pound best fighter: I respect him for all the above but mostly I respect him as a man! As a man of God, a man of respect, as a man who is humble while he is on top of the world.
If you have a child, friend or spouse who is training MMA, have them live according to how this man has lived his life and you will do them a favor.
All the blessings for a long, healthy life to a TRUE CHAMPION in every sense of the word!

Muhammad Ali: Float like a butterfly 🦋 sting like a bee 🐝

Khabib is Goat 🐐 still undefeated

Amazing! Absolutely the best of all time in my opinion. Khabib did it in one
Of if not the best division of all time. His Last 3 wins are against Justin, Dustin, and Connor by total domination. He’s a legend and he did it with honor, integrity, and grace.

Congratulations hero and all Best for the next chapter of ur life

[faarizdavids]

Well said Brian, give credit when it is overdue.
Khabib G.O.A.T #1 for sure.

[Izzy-zhck]

somebody please reach out to khabibs mother and convince him to let him fight one more time. Hes a man of his word and wont change.

[JimmyKantstandyabitz]

Really wanted Justin to win but Khabib is without a shadow of a doubt the GOAT. Can’t be mad at someone who is fulfilling his fathers and mothers wishes. We’re never getting that Tony/Khabib fight sadly.

[Shazibenga]

Go well Khabib, hope to see you in the capacity of a good coach.

[lbrambo]

Respect ✊🏽, where respects due !
Congratulations champ !
Your father would be proud

[phuongle]
