A simple lack of desire to compete without his late mentor and father was the main factor in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s decision to end his career as an MMA fighter. On July 3, 2020, Khabib’s father passed away as a result of difficulties brought on by a coronavirus illness.

On Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov shared a picture with his teammates along with the caption ‘Today was old school wrestling’.
The post has already gotten enormous likes and engagement from MMA fans. We do not know if Khabib might change his hind and return to the octagon, but we definitely know the athlete can not stay away from his love for combat sports.
