UFC fighter Daniel Cormier said on his YouTube podcast that Khabib Nurmagomedov was offered $40 million to return to the International Sports Organization, but he refused.
Former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov apparently received an offer to return to the UFC two years ago. However, his teammate shared that the athlete rejected this along with the amount offered.
“Khabib told us that he turned down the UFC’s $40 million offer. He shared: “$40 million, bro, for transformation.” How many fights did he have to fight, what kind of offer was there, but he told us: “I turned down $40 million, bro. I I’m already done.” “If he had refused such a sum two years ago, I don’t know what could have happened to bring him back to the UFC,” his colleague said.
Let’s remember, on October 7, 2018, Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor with a score of 27:0 and won the UFC championship. On October 25, 2020, Khabib received the title of “undefeated champion” – this happened after winning the fight with Justin Gadje. That same evening, Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from major sports.
