Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to defend his lightweight title in the main event of UFC 242 on Sept. 7. He is set to take on Dustin Poirier, where the Russian champion is looking to become 28-0 and defend his belt for the second time.
Although Nurmagomedov is only 30-years-old and turning 31 this month, the end could be near. His father has told him he wants him to retire, so speaking on the UFC 242 media call, he admits his future in the sport may be winding down. But, he must discuss his future with his team.
“Good question,” Nurmagomedov said. “Not yet, but I’m not a young fighter. I’ve already been champion for years. I’ve already defended my title. This is my second defense. Of course, I don’t have a lot of fights ahead, because I don’t want to fight when I’m 40 years old. This isn’t my plan. We’ll see.
“Before I make a decision, I have to talk with my father, I have to talk with coach Javier (Mendez), all my brothers, (my management team) Dominance MMA and all the people around me,” Nurmagomedov said. “I can’t make this decision alone. But right now, I’m focused on competition, because I have too much fire inside me.”
Khabib Nurmagomedov is still at the top of his game so it would be tough to see him walk away right now. Yet, he has mentioned he still wants to fight Tony Ferguson and Georges St-Pierre, but when he steps away or how many fights he has left is unknown.
When do you think Khabib Nurmagomedov will retire?

Dustin Poirier will look to become the undisputed lightweight champion in the main event of UFC 242.
He is the current interim champ and will unify his belt with undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov next month. Speaking to MMA Junkie, Poirier explained he believes the bout will be back-and-forth, but ultimately, he will stop the undefeated Russian.
“I keep going back and forth,” Poirier said. “I feel like I can submit Khabib, but feel like I’m going to stop him. I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I’m either going to knock him out or I’m going to submit him. I’m going to finish Khabib Nurmagomedov.”
Fighting the Russian will be no easy task. He has only lost one round in his entire career and at 27-0 has looked unbeatable. Yet, Poirier is confident he has not only what it takes to win the fight but to finish Nurmagomedov.
Meanwhile, something Nurmagomedov should have the advantage in is the wrestling and his top game. Many have said once Khabib is on top of you, you are not getting up. Yet, Poirier is not worried about the takedowns.
“Of course, it’s a huge danger,” Poirier said. “I don’t want this guy to get on top of me and start pulling away with rounds. We only have five of them. If you let a guy lay on you for three, you need a finish. That’s not what I’m trying to do in there.
“I’m not worried about his takedowns so much. I need to hurt this guy. That’s a huge part of this training camp. Putting myself in good positions to win the rounds and win the fight. Staying off the fence. Getting up off the ground. But, at the same time, I need to do what I do.”
Poirier is extremely confident in that he will hear “And New.” If Poirier can ake it happen, he knows he’ll have just made history.
“It’s putting everything together, trying to be the best fighter (and) the best person that I can be,” Poirier said. “Walking into the Octagon Sept. 7, I know I need to be at my best. It’s going to take all of me. It’s going to take all of this preparation done the right way to beat Khabib. I understand that.
“I’m going to do something that’s never been done and I’m treating it that way. This is history. I’m about to make history.”
