Oleg Taktarov believes that Khabib will resume his career: “Now he will understand how hard it is to make money in real life.”
The winner of the sixth UFC tournament, Oleg Taktarov, praised reigning UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov for announcing his retirement at the peak of his career. However, the renowned veteran still believes that Nurmagomedov will return to the octagon. According to Taktarov, this will happen after Khabib realizes how hard it is to make money without participating in battles.
“Leaving on time is a talent. That’s why I said that Khabib did what Fedor did not do. Although I think that he did not do it and is unlikely to do it, because now he will understand how hard it is to make money in real life, especially with these fights. Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is to continue performing. And we, in particular the Caucasus, will lose a hero, “Oleg Taktarov said live on Instagram.
We will remind, Taktarov also said that Tony Ferguson almost never had a chance to become the champion of the UFC.
TJ Dillashaw commented on Jose Aldo’s challenge
Former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw responded to the challenge that Jose Aldo presented to him.
We will remind, last night “King Rio” successfully returned to the octagon in a duel against Marlon Vera. After two competitive rounds, the former 145-pound champion was able to tip the scales in his favor, giving out a dominant performance in the final five minutes. The victory over Vera allowed Aldo to end his streak of three defeats, giving him the opportunity to ask the promotion for a fight with Dillashaw.
At the same time, T.J. did not remain silent, leaving the following post on social networks:
“I heard that everyone challenges me because they all know this belt is mine,” Dillashaw tweeted.
Recall that Dillashaw has not entered the octagon since January 2019. At the moment, T.J. is still serving a USADA disqualification due to a failed doping test, but will be able to return as early as next month. In his last fight, Dillashaw was defeated by former two-weight champion Henry Sejudo.
