Dana White says Khabib Nurmagomedov will not return

UFC president Dana White has addressed rumours about Khabib Nurmagomedov returning to the octagon, saying Khabib will never come back. White said that when Khabib retired, he offered him every possible option, tried to persuade him to take one more fight or stay in the sport, but Khabib did not want to.

White said the same thing happened with Daniel Cormier. He added that he no longer thinks about such comebacks and dislikes hypothetical fights, preferring what is possible right now.

Khabib Nurmagomedov finished his professional career with a record of 29 wins and no losses (29-0). He competed in the UFC lightweight division.
