The REAL reason Khabib retired...

No cliffs? Cba to watch

Edit: I watched a bit and I guess I agree. The basic premise he is struggling to make weight at 155 and doesn't want to challenge himself at 170. So he can't be the overall GOAT. Which I agree.
 
I don't remember the weigh in for his final fight, but it seemed like he got his weight issues under control once he hired a nutritionist. I think he stepped aside because he didn't want to keep fighting without his dad, and because he wanted Islam to have a shot at the title.

Wild guess:

1) his dad died

2) he accomplished everything he wanted

3) him being champ blocked Islam from advancing

4) he had to fill in as head coach for all of his dad's athletes

He didn’t accomplish everything he was supposed to go 30-0 but quit early like Rocky Marciano did when he stopped at 49-0
