Nurmagomedov who last competed at UFC 254 where he submitted Justin Gaethje in the second round with a triangle choke, has made his intentions pretty clear about wanting to retire and honor his mother’s wishes. Even with rumors spreading of a potential super fight with former two-division UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, the lightweight king of the Octagon as of now at least seems content with calling it a career at 29-0.
