MOSCOW, Sep 17, Ivan Orekhov. Russian MMA fighter Rasul Mirzaev said, that Khabib Nurmagomedov misses mixed martial arts, and admitted that the former UFC lightweight champion could resume his career. Nurmagomedov retired from the sport in October 2020 without losing a single fight (29 wins in 29 fights).
" Khabib is in his place, Rasul is in his place. He's on one level, I'm on another. He has no desire, because he has everything, and I have unfinished business: I like to constantly move, try something new, feel the adrenaline. I can't do without it. And Khabib is bored, this appetite is laid inside, sooner or later he will wake up. Like Fedor (Emelianenko). He has everything, but strives to perform. It's called inner desire, it's like a drug. Let it be better in a cage than spilling energy on the street. Accumulative process,» Mirzaev told reporters at the Wild Boxing boxing tournament.
«Inside Khabib, a voice speaks (about his return). He trains, there is a desire, for some reason he does it,» the athlete added.
