Eye Pokes, Insanity, And Saying Goodbye: Khabib Retires

You know it is a crazy week when the UFC announces it is returning to a full capacity audience in one month, on a card with three title fights, and it still isn’t the biggest news of the week.

Khabib has officially called it a day.

I have been saying it for some time now. When Khabib called it a day back in October, I got the sense that he was DONE done. He claimed that he promised his mother he would never fight again… and when you promise Mom - you don’t break that promise. Uncle Dana will finally call off his pursuit to convince “The Eagle” of one more bout and the lightweight division will move on.
