Money, fame, goat status, respected yet still lowers his gaze, being humble and prioritizing his loved ones. Now that's a MAN.

[MisterMajinVegeta]

In a sport based on blood, yet we never saw him bleed.
Absolute legend.

[KuyaBryan]

Very humble champion. Most people will continue for money, For Khabib, he just want to keep his promise and make his mother happy.

STRONG MEN DON'T SHOW OFF... THEY KNOW THEY ARE STRONG

"I'm gonna be around the UFC, I'm not gonna let you guys miss me." made me smile. I'm still gonna miss the training videos with DC tho

[ODWYER]

Khabib is a real champion inside and outside the octagon. A credit to the human race. Respect always from an Irish catholic in Ireland. We will miss him. Enjoy your retirement.

I can only hope to raise my 2 kids to be as noble, humble and honorable as khabib. What an inspiration for humanity.

[j.a.emmanueltemplemann]

What a Champion.

He talks good; he fights good; he is humble; he is honest; and he is grateful.

Greatest of all time

[DrBeauHightower]

Legend. Thanks for the great times and hilarious catch phrases

[AaronDbs]

This guy have a unique personality and a good role model makes other UFC fighters shocked interesting man

[ismaieladen]

Khabib is officially 30-0, last opponent being Dana White via verbal Submission... *What an Outstanding Resume, Happy Retirement Champ* 🦅

[yhklhxo]

I actually think he's the most humble person ever.... An absolute gent and beast at the same time...

[SiannanIsTheBest]

This is what you call a good role model for young men. Muslim or not we can all respect the way he puts his family first, respect for his mother, the way he interacts with women in general, and his passion for working hard to feed your family is honourable. He will inspire many young men generations to come. Doesn’t matter what creed or colour we are we should all take a leaf out of Khabib’s book

"I don't need money fight."

Spoken like a TRUE champion.

[davidharrington]

Coming from an Irishman this guy is a class act, I would be proud if he was from my country. A true gentleman

[hradecek]

The fact he retired, even with the big money in the game, makes his legacy even bigger. Respect!

[DoubleDOwnage]

"I'm not going to let you guys miss me."

This is a prime example of why I love Khabib.

[studogable]

"We talk like two real men."

Amen. No BS in social media, no trash talk, no spectacle. Just two men speaking honestly with each other. Rare in public life these days.

[mrspine]

When he said that each camp took some age on his mother... it made me realize something... This is why my mom got so old recently... Cause of stress that I am causing... That is really sad. I need to improve ffs... Thanks Khabib. See you around
