data-preserver-spaces=”true”>Khabib Nurmagomedov said that defending an unbeatable title was not an easy mission. In addition, the number of young fighters is also a reason why the champion of the lightweight class Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is considering retirement.
“Maybe in two or three years, I will survive. In fact, in my opinion, two more years retiring. It is impossible to maintain the title without losing forever,” said Khabib, as reported by MMamania, Wednesday (10/16/2019).
