Media Jon Anik: Khabib Only Returns if Someone Beats Islam

This is exactly why Chandler should have fought Islam at 254 when RDA had to be removed. He thought he was above it and now thinks a win over Hooker would do the trick. Congratulations, you played yourself.

He even said that he dont know who Islam is i mean i think Chandler knows who Islam is
 
Meh Islam is not Khabib, he stands and strikes way more and seems to have a much weaker chin, I'm not confident he will ever be nearly as dominant as khabib, and it would be dumb for Khabib to fight any bum who happens to clip him, like the other guy already did, unless it was a really hype fight, like Oliveira choking him out and calling out Khabib, or if Chandler KOd Islam stiff
 
Looks like Khabib isn't coming back, based on what Anik said, because realistically no one is beating Islam

Jon Anik Says There Is Only One Way Khabib Fights Again
As much as fans are wanting to see Khabib Nurmagomedov not retire, Jon Anik is not confident in Dana White’s skills of persuasion. Speaking in a recent interview, the UFC commentator said that he does not think Khabib will fight again soon.

However Jon went a step further than that. He said that the only way Khabib would compete again, would be to avenge a future loss against his protege, Islam Makhachev.

Imagine if Dober takes out Islam...
 
I dont think Khabib would return to fight someone just for beating his team mate.

1. It makes his teammates look weak, like they're not about to come back stronger / stand stand on their own.
2. He views it as a sport not some blood feud.
3. If his teammate loses he will says that's what god wanted and next time will be different god willing.
