Khabib Nurmagomedov said “I have no plans to continue fighting,” according to TMZ.
Nurmagomedov is certain he will not be returning to the octagon.
“There will always be rumors about my comeback because Dana White or other promoters who could replace him in the future will always want me to fight.”
“Of course, I am in my prime and there’s still tons of money I could earn, but I had a different goal.”
“And, as for money — from now on we will earn it somewhere else.”
“My goal was to reach the summit and I did it.”

But, Khabib has insisted he’s lost the desire to compete again and wants to focus on his career outside the octagon.
Dana White has been saying for weeks — and again during an interview we shot on Thursday — that he strongly believes Khabib will come back for a 30th fight. He’s even considering opponents for Khabib.
But, Khabib insists he’s done for good — saying there’s nobody else out there for him to fight.
