Honestly, khabib vs Gaethje was too soon a date after his dad passed

[Rdude92]

It contributes to the early retirement of Khabib's career of 29-0. Mom got emotional not wanting him to fight, because dad just passed not long ago causing khabib to make that promise

The UFC should have let him have his time at least for 7+ months before offering him a fight after his dad just passed

Thoughts?

That death was truly shocking. It was a given to most that he'd recover given his good health and age. Feel sorry for khabib and do agree he needed a lot longer.

 

[BangBang]

Honestly, we should just leave Khabib the feck alone to so whatever the feck he wants.

 

[Cynfocus]

I rather the early retirement than the buster Douglas effect. TBH if he's gone, I'm happy for him. If he's not gone, i'll be happy to see him once again. I like the idea of leaving with the 0.

 

[Goatenstein]

Did he tell you that or are you just whining?

 

[Mga223]

What?

At the end of the day khabib didn't want to hold the division up.

Don't you remember him copping shit like he was a duck for not fighting through the pandemic?

He proved everyone wrong and has nothing else to prove now.

 

[HHJ]

Oh?

My thought that most of the ingrates here were spitting "Defend or Vacate!" the day we learned of his passing.

Abdulmanap had 2 wives, it’s not about his mother or taking care of the household, Khabib just has nothing left to conquer at LW

I heard he had 5.

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

To soon? Um, he won.

 

[Paynebringer]

Khabib is a fighter emotions or no emotions if the hunger gnaws at him and knowing what his father really wanted for him in the world of martial arts combat, he'll find his way back even it's for specialty fights.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

How many interim titles were handed out during Khabib’s reign...?

Great Fighter Khabib is, but consistent or active he was not


TS thinks he was entitled more off time....?


Khabib will be back after he comes to terms with Abdulmanap’s passing to regain his crown, fighters who attempt to retire young alway miss the training and competition aspect, he will be back

 

[usernamee]

I heard he had 5.

Who cares

All we know is that he is banging 72 virgins in cloud city right now

It's a complete blood bath up there

disgusting

So what? you can have 2 wives and you can love both of them and they can love you back you just need to be an alpha

 

[Peli]

Abdulmanap had 2 wives, it’s not about his mother or taking care of the household, Khabib just has nothing left to conquer at LW

Two wives? Isn't that illegal in Russia? First time I'm hearing this. I've always heard he's had one

 

[TempleoftheDog]

There is the possibility he never would have returned at all if he had taken more time off. This is all conjecture, and pretty silly considering.

 

[TheWave111]

Khabib did the best thing.
He tried to grieve and handle his loss. by training and goals.
It made it easier than having too much time off to think.

He closed it down right now with no pressure of returning.

 

[Iron Skin]

Abdulmanap had 2 wives, it’s not about his mother or taking care of the household, Khabib just has nothing left to conquer at LW

This is not true, Abdulmanap had only one wife.

 

[CutStryker]

I could see if Khabib lost to use this statement as an excuse, however he won...so how was it too soon exactly?

 

[RicardinhoPT]

He had already not defended for over a year, stop whining

 

[2EZ]

i was also shocked ufc approached him for the gaethje fight so soon when dana was on record saying they are giving him time to deal with his fathers death.
