The real reason Khabib "retired"

After his coach telling him Coke Conor coming off a boxing match that made him 100 mil was his hardest fight to date, Khabib figured 4 top 5 wins in a career was enough

Khabib should just sit on the sidelines and shut his trap if hes not going to fight.

Real fighters like Conor will continue to fight and prove themselves in the octagon like true warriors, even though he has a bunch of money.

Didn't want to get tapped or clobbered by Charles

Only one of them's been tapped or clobbered and it's not Khabib. Charles has 7x.

Great fighter but Khabib smesh.
 
Remember when Conor fans became Tony superfans, then became Charles superfans?

I honestly wonder when they’ll quit watching overall. Certainly hoping it is when the winless wonder of the last couple years retires.
 
haven't been on here in a minute and you guys are on the same stupid shit, proving that [at least for ya'll] time is a flat circle. . Lmao fucking sherdog.

I wish he would throw leg kicks like he used to. Seemed liked after his motorcycle accident he stopped using them
 
That's a secondary aspect of the real reason which was that he could no longer make LW.

Khabib knew he'd have to move up to continue fighting. And if he went to WW he knew he was much more likely to lose given his stylistic advantage at LW, i.e the division was striker heavy, was gone at WW which was the opposite and grappling heavy. And as a 4x LW champion he'd get fed right to the top, not to some WW scrub he might still beat.

Don't believe his lies about mommy asking him to stop. That comes entirely from himself, she's never said that herself. It's also directly contradicted by the fact that he did not retire that night as supposedly asked but rather 5 months later when the UFC told him take a fight or we're stripping you. Additionally, but the notion that he's just following his parents wishes is also directly contradicted by his father having openly and repeatedly said he wanted Khabib to go to 30-0 before retiring. To believe his story you have to accept that he put his mother's wishes above his father's. Which itself shows that he'll break their wishes if he wants to.

Or you could just watch him miss weight against Justin, and watch the documentary he released post-fight showing him nearly die trying (and failing) to make weight. He was done with LW and this was his way out.

What a stupid take.

Just look at his emotional state after the Justin fight, you could see how much pain he was feeling for the loss of his father.
Considering how important his father was, the emotional bond they shared, the father/trainer figure since childhood, any balanced person can understand why he retired, and contrary to others, will stay retired.

But go ahead and hate/mock him.
As no one can fault his performances in the real fights, now the haters need to be grasping for straws to fault him.

He isn't and will never be considered the GOAT due to his short resume, but he was the most dominant fighter ever during his "short" career.

He cares so much about his father he didn't respect his father's repeatedly stated wishes that he get to 30-0 first and then retire.

Father would want to see son fight and succeed. He would want his son to use the tools that he showed him from young man.

Why would a fighter in their peak quit because their dad died? You think that's what his dad wanted to see?

I don't know what you are smoking but it's messing you up. You should stop. You're getting way too emo about Khabibs situation.

He made a promise to his mother ffs, that's terrible of him too right?

I see that you are not versed in keeping a promise sir.

Lmao Khabib was 31. Lol at believing his mother had any say over his career choices by that point. If he wanted to fight he could've told his mother he wants to fight and doesn't need her permission.

Let alone believing this event ever even happened. There's literally no proof. It's entirely a story Khabib himself said. Mom's not on record saying this, Khabib is.

Meanwhile the actual proof and things on record are that:
  • Khabib in fact never retired that night, but rather 5 months later. Promise couldn't have been that important to him if he was willing to break it to stay active to get the P4P ranking and longer reign he himself repeatedly said he wanted. Funny how his career aspirations were able to conveniently bypass mommy's promise.
  • His dad had repeatedly said that Khabib should go to 30-0 and then retire. Not 29-0. Again, to believe the mommy story you are therefore believing he chose to honour her over his father. Despite his father being the only one ever actually involved in his career. But sure, all of the sudden he started valuing his mother's career advice over his father's.
  • Khabib failed to make weight against Justin, had an extremely brutal cut that camp that nearly killed him, had a long history of weight issues, and blew up as soon as he retired.
It's the last point that caused him to call his career off. He had clearly gotten too big for the division and was going to have to move up if he stuck around for another fight. And clearly, he didn't like his odds if he did. He took the way out he was given.

Nothing wrong with that, but don't believe his lies.
