Was expecting it, maybe one more. He always said he'd go to 30 and retire.
Take his culture into account. This guy doesn't live in a modern part of the world and is surrounded by people who have the same view. It's not only hard for him to say something that goes against what his family and friends say, we haven't seen him being countered with the opposition argument.hmmm
‘Women should be fighters at home’ – Khabib risks sexism backlash over comments (VIDEO)
Russian UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has faced accusations of sexism by saying that women “should be fighters at home,” in response to a question on what advice he would give to female competitors getting into the MMA game.www.rt.com
Yea, Justin hit him with some solid shots and Khabib didn't do much more than flinch.People underestimate Khabib's ability to take a punch. He's taken punches from the hardest strikers in UFC and still beat them.
I can guarantee that the ref probably hasn't seen such an early tap from a triangle and it caught him off guard. They usually take time to set up, and the squeeze comes from the legs and your hands. Not to mention no gi + lots of sweat and blood, it can be very easy to escape from one. Khabib is just a wizardUpon replay, Justin's arm was kinda flopping around and tapping everywhere, so I guess the ref didn't want to call it in case it was Justin trying to attack? Anyway, it wasn't like he was taking shots, he just went to sleep, so maybe avoid the whole "pop up and dispute" situation.
But wow, a retirement at 29-0? He's gotta go for 30, damn.
It must feel so good to leave a fight having executed your play so definitively and without much damage.
