Rumored Khabib turned down $40 million to return to the UFC

DC Claims Khabib turned down $40 million

I put it as rumor since it is out of DC's mouth.

 

[The Siege]

Don't know about 40 mil, but probably a hefty sum promised by Dana and Co. Dana went hysterical trying to convince Khabib to come back after his retirement, so this wouldn't be out of character. Plus having Khabib back on board strengthens their hand in their campaign to spread through the Mid East region.

 

[kahymo]

it was for fight against Floyd under boxing rules

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

$40m for 8 fights.

Dana bless.

 

[TR1]

$40 million worth of UFC hotdog branders for resale.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Khabib doesn't seem too impressed by money. Guy grew up in modest settings and is quite principled.

I would be surprised if he ever fights again, regardless of money offered.

Cormier..



WHY YOU ALWAYS LYING?!??

 

[Zanmato]

MAYBE for an 8 fight contract

I mean if the middle east is coughing up the funds it could be true.

AJ is getting £50mil to fight Ngannou
Ngannou himself is getting £20mil

That's paid by the Saudi's themselves.
They got deep pockets lol

Good, let him enjoy the rest of his life. He made his legacy and he's satisfied. More people should learn when to hang it up

Khabib's probably the richest MMA fighter ever after Connor. I wouldn't be surprised if he's surpassed 9 figures at this point.

Guys don't understand how big he is in the Muslim world. They throw money at him in the middle east.

 

[mjfan23]

40 million for a ten year contract?

 

[GilErick]

40 million for a ten year contract?

Exactly I was thinking like 40 millions for 20 fights lol

 

[BearGrounds]

He'd come back for a GSP fight, but it'd take a lot to make that happen.

Close to no chance.

 

[TheBulge]

In the long run he can milk his unbeaten record for the rest of his life which will be worth more than 40 million.

 

[blaseblase]

Khabib could have made big money beating Conor's ass again, he was clearly done with fighting.

 

[Rorschachxx]

We've said it since UFC 254 and will continue to say it. Khabib is retired and will stay retired.

Could he come back for a grappling match? Sure, but his MMA career is over.

 

[ILove4MinutesHyuna]

He can get that money teaching a couple of seminars a year in the Kingdom nice try goofball

 

[Fergelmince]

there's no evidence to support this

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

He'd come back for a GSP fight, but it'd take a lot to make that happen.

Close to no chance.

It seemed like the plan, Khabib I remember made a comment back in 2020 on Joe Rogans IG saying he was gonna fight GSP in April, Dana I think said he had something special for Khabib but Khabib said to hold off
