UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov appears to have poured cold water on an MMA return insisting his "flame has gone out" for the sport.
Nurmagomedov is considered one of the most dominant fighters to ever grace the sport retiring as an undefeated champion back in 2020 from his stint in the UFC. His final fight came with another submission win over Justin Gaethje two years ago, which saw him linked to a whole host of fights including against Conor McGregor before he elected to retire.
The Russian star has been training his protege Islam Makhachev for this weekend's UFC 280 title clash against Charles Oliveira at the Etihad Arena, as he continues to help bring through the next generation. And despite being linked with a future clash against the Brazilian if he beats his fellow countryman, Nurmagomedov has insisted that it is unlikely he will return.
