Khabib Nurmagomedov responded to a social media post claiming he retired because of money, stating that finances were not the reason he ended his fighting career. The former UFC lightweight champion made the clarification in reaction to a publication in a public page. Khabib retired undefeated at 29-0 in 2020 following the death of his father and coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. He has since become a successful coach and businessman. The post from Igor Kak Dela channel shared Khabib's brief rebuttal but provided no additional details about what specifically prompted his response or what alternative reasons he gave for retirement. Khabib's legacy remains intact as one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history.
