Khabib Nurmagomedov is many things. He is an undefeated UFC Lightweight champion but definitely much more than that. He is a devoted son, a loving husband, and a protective father as well. His last fight in the UFC was against Justin Gaethje, where he retired 29-0-0, because of his father’s passing.
Now, he is a father to two sons and a daughter who takes their early development really seriously. Although he keeps his private life private and his thoughts to himself, he recently spoke up about his equations with his children and the importance of the right kind of schooling for children.

“I think so. I think it’s completely different.”, replied the undefeated yet retired champ. Then, he proceeded to talk about the influence that schools have on the lives of young kids. “First of all, like… about schools… our kids spend like. First of all, they sleep eight hours, right? They wake up morning, they go to the school… they spend there like eight-nine hours, and we don’t know with who they spend time.“.
The former UFC fighter raised some really good points when talking about this. “Maybe these teachers you don’t even know what they thinking – what they have on their mind and you let them to give education to your kids… its very dangerous.” The audience couldn’t help but clap and admire Nurmagomedov’s line of thought as he said, “If you not agree with this – these teachers on your life position but you let them teach your kids and when they become sixteen, you want they become like you… this is don’t work.“.

In the same podcast episode, Nurmagomedov was asked by the interviewer about his plans to return to the UFC. The retired Lightweight GOAT straight up clarified that he would not be returning to the UFC Octagon.
Apparently, Nurmagomedov is choosing to stay away from the sport primarily because of the promise he made to his mother, after the loss of his father. Furthermore, he is currently training his sons in combat and creating the next generation of undefeatable champions. Also, his protege, Islam Makhachev, who is the current UFC Lightweight champion, is the current torch-bearer.
In the middle, there were rumors that Khabib Nurmagomedov might return to the UFC to partake in the UFC Fight Pass Invitational in December, this year. UFC Legend Georges St-Pierre, who is a close friend of Nurmagomedov, is making a return to the Octagon after many long years. The competition will also feature BJJ GOAT Gordon Ryan. Although it would have been a great opportunity for Khabib Nurmagomedov to return to the UFC, it is clear that there is no immediate news of that.
