Capping off a stunning professional mixed martial arts career, Khabib ‘The Eagle’ Nurmagomedov had reportedly suffered a broken foot three-weeks before tonight’s lightweight title unification win over Justin ‘The Highlight’ Gaethje – according to UFC president, Dana White.
Calling time on his perfect twenty-nine fight career following his excellent second-round triangle win over Gaethje, Khabib announced his decision to retire from professional mixed martial, after making a promise to his mother. Following the untimely passing of his father and renowned Sambo coach, Abdulmanap earlier this year due to complications due to COVID-19 – Khabib had faced a tough trail to get to the Octagon tonight.
Forcing the usual forward pressing Gaethje to fight off the fence which would eventually prove detrimental, Khabib ate a number of significant inside and outside leg kicks from the Elevation Fight Team mainstay for his troubles. Heading back to his corner and Trevor Wittman after the opening buzzer, Wittman put emphasis on more leg kicks, detailing how eight more would render Khabib’s mobility useless.
Starting the second-round with a notable breath in – Gaethje gave up his back in a scramble, with Khabib threatening with a mounted triangle. Eventually reverting to an armbar and then a triangle from guard – Khabib choked Gaethje unconscious, despite a couple of taps from the Arizonian.
An emotional Khabib fell to his knees in the centre of the Octagon as he celebrated with his corner, before announcing his decision to hang up his gloves during his post-fight interview with UFC commentator, Jon Anik.
Speaking with media at the post-fight press conference, White detailed how Khabib had suffered a break to two of his toes, and a bone in his foot prior to tonight’s Octagon walk.
“Listen, man, what he’s (Khabib Nurmagomedov’s) been through, we’re all lucky we got to see him fight tonight,” White said. “And I’m hearing rumours of other things that I didn’t know about, that you guys will hear about when he comes out later I’m sure.“
“Apparently, he was in the hospital – he broke his foot. Three weeks ago. So he has two broken toes and a bone in his foot that’s broken, or something like that. That’s what his corner was telling me. And never told anybody – [was] walking around, I mean, he is one of the toughest human beings on the planet and he is just – he’s the number-one pound-for-pound fighter in the world. And seriously, you have to start putting him up there at G.O.A.T. status, whoever else you think is the G.O.A.T.“

UFC 254 is finally upon us! Long-time lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov will attempt to unify the division for the second time in as many fights when he takes on interim titleholder Justin Gaethje in tonight’s main event. Who’ll emerge the winner? Let’s see what the LowKickMMA staff think…
Jordan Ellis: As this fight creeps closer I feel more definite in my backing of Khabib Nurmagomedov. ‘The Eagle’ is clearly a sensational fighter with a game that no-one has been able to figure out as of yet. While Justin Gaethje is game and apparently has brilliant wrestling, I just don’t see him being able to keep Khabib off of him. I expect the Russian to get the takedown as he often does and ultimately pick up a submission win in the mid to late rounds at UFC 254.
Prediction: Khabib Nurmagomedov
Abhinav Kini: Justin Gaethje has said a lot in the buildup that has somewhat persuaded me to believe he can do what no other fighter has done to Khabib Nurmagomedov. But despite that and his overall wrestling credentials, MMA wrestling is a whole other story and I feel Nurmagomedov will be able to take and keep Gaethje down. The grappling exchanges should be interesting but I still see this going the way of the champion who should go 29-0. Khabib by unanimous decision.
Prediction: Khabib Nurmagomedov
Karim Nathan: I believe that Gaethje 100% is the toughest ever challenge for Khabib, he has heavy hands and mixed in with his fight IQ and wrestling credentials he has the potential to cause Khabib problems, however saying that I still believe that Khabib will be relentless with his takedowns and eventually get it and control Gaethje on the ground. Going with a Khabib win via unanimous decision
Prediction: Khabib Nurmagomedov
Harry O’Connor: Gaethje is Khabib’s toughest opponent on paper, hands down. Up until a few days ago I thought he may have a chance to win. I just can’t go against Khabib, I’ve never seen anyone dominate people the way he does. It’s inevitable he’s going to get Justin against the fence and take him down, once he’s down, Justin begins to get tired and Khabib starts to go through the levels with the ground and pound, I think Khabib will submit Gaethje in the second round.
Prediction: Khabib Nurmagomedov
Ryan MacCarthy: I believe Khabib walks away 29-0 after a 4th round submission victory. The 1st round will tell us everything.If Justin can use his footwork, use wrestling in the open, I think Justin might be able to outwrestle him in the open. But against the fence, I don’t think so. If Justin can cut Khabib up and land strikes on him in the 1st round then we are in for quite a battle. But if Khabib gets Gaethje up against the fence, then Gaethje could be in for a long night. What isnt talked about enough is how Gaethje was an all American wrestler in college. He is no slouch and we’ll have to see how his takedown defense is. But he is also no Khabib. Khabib can do it against the best wrestlers in the world, regardless of size. It’s a dangerous fight for both guys. But I believe, if I have to put my money on someone, of course you cannot bet against Khabib. His pedigree speaks for itself.
Prediction: Khabib Nurmagomedov
