“It's been a year since Father passed away. This event increased my belief that in this world we own nothing, not children, not our parents, not our property. Everything we have is temporary. All things belong to Allah and to him we will return. We will tie our hearts to Allah and be alone with Him for a while. Then the time will come when we will all be placed in the tomb where we will be alone and our friends, relatives, properties and connections will not be there. Only our actions”, wrote the Russian.
The patriarch of the Nurgamomedov family passed away on July 03, 2020, at the age of 57, due to complications caused by Covid-19. After his father's death, Khabib promised his mother that he would hang up his gloves to have more time to spend with his family.
Considered by many to be the greatest lightweight of all time, Khabib retired with an undefeated record of 29 wins. The Russian athlete defeated names like Rafael dos Anjos, Conor McGregor, Dustin poirier e Edson Barboza. His last fight was in UFC 254 in January 2020, on that occasion, the 'Eagle' finished the then interim champion of the division Justin gaethje and unified the category title.
