Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen shared his perspective on why Khabib Nurmagomedov concluded his fighting career sooner than many expected.
Sonnen stated that the most common reason for fighters to retire is the difficulty of weight cutting. He used Khabib as a prime example, suggesting that while Nurmagomedov could have aimed for a 30-0 record, his retirement was primarily due to no longer wanting to reduce his weight to 70 kg. Sonnen emphasized that this is a typical reason for retirement among fighters, not unique to Khabib.
