Sad to realize that Khabib has ended career. 29-0 is a great record, but he and his father dreamt about 30-0.

What about a $ 100 million fight? Conor's revenge is inevitable, (and after the incident in Moscow, Conor helped Khabib with motivation)

The UFC is aiming for a rematch of Conor and Khabib, such a conclusion can be easily drawn from Dana White's speech. Conor really wants to fight with Khabib, it is very important for him, he is literally obsessed with him. Earlier, Khabib stated that Conor needs to win 10 victories, and that money does not matter, (although his father spoke of $ 100 million).

Do you really think that rematch between Conor and Khabib could happen? I havent seen post fight conference and what Dana White said after the fight.

Imho, Conor is not obsessed with him. All he said and done before their fight was just for hype. Yes, he said few loud phrases after his loss, but this was just emotions. Looking on Conor's tweets, his kind words after Khabib father death and:

Good performance
@TeamKhabib
.
I will carry on.
Respect and condolences on your father again also. To you and family.
Yours sincerely, The McGregors.

It does not seems like he is really obsessed for a rematch. Rematch would be good, but there is no obsession behind Conor.

But I might be wrong Grin

Khabibs father mentioned $ 100 million just as a joke or as something unreachable. It is like "when the lobster whistles on the mountain" (I know, you will understand that phrase Grin

)

An honest opinion on Hall vs. Silva.

I'm surprised Hall is even getting a main event even though it's a fight night. He has been disappointing after TUF imo. He could have won that finale against Gastelum had he been more serious but that's beside the point.

On Anderson Silva, mad respect to this guy (except that steroid incident) but this future HOF should have retired after that knee injury. That was terrifying and painful to watch.

I don't know what Dana is thinking to be honest. Maybe he paired Hall because he's also washed up and could give Silva a good farewell fight - A WIN.

It's nice to see more member getting involved in here, right @tokeweed?

^ Yup pretty much. I'd love to see more people get into the sport from a fan perspective tbh.

Anyway, Betnomi is having a free to play prediction pool. It would nice to get a little support from you guys by joining. There's a 'resources' section in there to help you guys make your picks. Wink

Urijah was just one disappointment, I think his a wasted talent, but at least we could see him one more time.

Probably just out of respect to Anderson, we all know that after he lost his title to Weidman, it's over for him specially that freak injury.

We move to next UFC event and probably one more legend last fight - Anderson Silva.
He is fighting against Uriah Hall, and I think it is time for him to finally retire , and he should probably done that much earlier.

For me the best time for his retirement is after Adesanyan beat him but he didn't. He already had a glimpse of how stronger the youngsters in today's era but he still continue. Props to his courage and fighting spirit but he must finally open his eyes and accept that he is not getting younger. He already proved his worth to us and that's enough. The legend should rest now.

The retirement of Khabib is not shocking as everyone was talking about him retiring at 30 and 0 but when he announced at 29 it was surprising and the legacy created by him will be forever and i am sure he will be coaching all his friends and kids and the projects his father started.

Yeah! What a sad news. He is my favorite UFC fighter and it's hard to accept that I can no longer see him play inside the octagon Sad

. I'm even more disappointed knowing that he can no longer fight Ferguson. So many rescheduled rematches but the ending is still not happened. I know that Gaethje beat Tony thus some people are presuming that Khabib can do the same, it makes sense but I still wanna see them how they slug together tsk.

Congrats Khabib and can't wait to see what is he going to do next, and I can bet it would be connected with MMA.
Maybe working as coach for kids in Russia, and I am sure he will still be active and helping his brothers and cousins who are still in UFC.

I expected Anderson Silva to retire when he broke his leg in the fight but he is one fighter who forgot about retirement and he is around 45 years and he should retire from the sports even though he is still a high level fighter but a shell of his past.

I read about Khabib's retirement about an hour ago. It's not that I am surprised about it because he did mention about leaving a legacy and retirement in the pre-fight press conference. He just wanted to get the belt and exit on a high note.

Maybe he'll go to the NBA next and show everyone his "Dagestani step" ? Nobody will dare guard him and even the referee will be scared to call for traveling violation.

Man! That was an awesome fight from start to finish Khabib really is Dominating and I know that Nurmagomedov will be focus in this fight and that he could beat Gaethje even though there is a small doubt when the fight isn't starting yet, Man A tringle choke and Justin just went napping, But Respect to Justin Gaethje he really did an amazing job moving away and defending Khabib's takedown and feeling sad because of the retirement of Khabib I will never be going to see another great fighter with well polish wrestling I think I will start wrestling bears from now on.

what a great fighter and a great example for the fighters who wanted to be like him. Undisputed and could be the goat of UFC if they have some title like that.

The level of respect Khabib Nurmagomedov earned throughout his fighting career, none of the fighters and fellow competitors will have a bad thing to say about him and everyone respects his fight skills irrespective of weight divisions says a lot about his legacy he created and you do not need a belt but the respect he earned and the millions of fans he made, literally retiring undefeated no damage taken inside the cage is unheard in the history of MMA.

Just when I saw he threw that leg om Gaethji, I understood it was a matter of seconds before submittion. To nad we will never see his fight against Ferguson.

I was expecting his victory today but not his total retirement in the UFC. Anyway, it was all his decision and people in the UFC respected that especially those who supported him from the start. what a great fighter and a great example for the fighters who wanted to be like him. Undisputed and could be the goat of UFC if they have some title like that.

This really shocked the world, I just knew it as I was reading some sports news.
No doubt he is a great fighter, he is like the Floyd Mayweather in boxing who retires with perfect record.

Good luck to him, is it possible for him to be back in the UFC again? just like the rule in boxing?

What can you say though, it was the Khabib's decision to let go of the sports he love, truly GOAT, P4P, and the way he beats his opponent, not even giving them a single round specially in championship matches. Everyone is paying respect, even Conor himself. I thought that he will go after GSP after this, anyhow, it is what is it.

Maybe Dana was also caught off guard with the sudden and unexpected decision, and maybe Poirier vs McGregor fight will be for the vacant title in January next year.

It's hard to believe that a legend like Khabib would be able to just walk away like that. We've seen it many times in combat sports where a fighter announces their retirement only to come back a few months later. We've seen Floyd Mayweather retire several times and he kept coming back. Tito Ortiz and Fedor Emilianenko are two recent examples in MMA. It does feel a bit different with Khabib because he's doing it for a very personal reason but I expect Dana to throw as much money as he can at him to tempt him into coming back.

I agree, I'm sure everyone is not expecting to hear this from Khabib because he is the best we have right now. But the emotional toll from his father's death is too much even for a fighter like him. I don't know if there is enough money on the table that will make him change his mind because he also mentioned that he promise his mother not to fight anymore. So it open up that division again, with Conor at top again with his brandish trash talk.

Dana will certainly create a new storyboard for lightweight after Khabib's retirement. This might be Conor's chance again or it might not hehehe.

To be honest, I wasn't aware that his father has past away. The sad part is that he is a victim of the corona virus, so that really hurt Khabib and his family.

It was in the early days of July (death) but his father was diagnosed earlier before that in May you can read the article here: https://www.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/03/sport/ufc-abdulmanap-nurmagomedov-khabib-nurmagomedov-dies-covid-19-complications-spt-intl/index.html and I think he decided this months ago and just announced after his last fight.
