Khabib Nurmagomedov's training habits and potential UFC return

UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov has discussed his training habits and his potential return to professional fighting. Nurmagomedov, who retired undefeated in 2021, emphasized the importance of personal hygiene during training sessions, stating that he maintains a high standard of grooming to remain respectful to his sparring partners.

Regarding a possible return to the Octagon, UFC President Dana White expressed skepticism. Speaking at the UFC 330 post-fight press conference, White indicated that a comeback is unlikely, noting Nurmagomedov’s current lifestyle and weight. While Nurmagomedov remains active in the sport as a coach for fighters such as Islam Makhachev, White suggested the former lightweight champion is content with his retirement.
