Khabib Nurmagomedov had one of the most successful careers within the UFC, between 2008 and 2020 he built a winning reputation in the UFC, and The Eagle is reportedly teasing a possible return to the octagon.
The last time he was part of a UFC show dates back to October 24, 2020, when he submitted Justin Gaethje in the second round to bring his win record to 29-0.
Now The Eagle is part of the team of fighter Islam Makhachev who will defend the lightweight title at the UFC 302 show against Dustin Poirier. In an Instagram post, Nurmagomedov shares his for Makhachev, but there are beginnings of a possible return to the UFC.
"33 days before the fight. Come on my brother," wrote Nurmagomedov, who in his stories shared a text in which he lets it be known that he misses the process of preparing for a fight.
"There was a time when those picks in sports seemed fantastic. Faith. Patience. Work," he wrote in one of his stories where he added: "The youngest is fully focused and preparing for battle."
Bad news for UFC fans
However, as much as he has been asked by fans and the UFC itself, Nurmagomedov has made it clear that he will not be returning to the octagon.
"I know they ed my manager for UFC 300, but I told Ali (Abdelaziz) about a year ago that, 'It doesn't matter who calls you, but never call me for a fight.' I decided on this in October 2020. It was my last fight, and I will never change this."
This decision was made by the Russian after the death of his father in the COVID-19 pandemic.
