British Female MMA Fighter Understands Khabib’s Retirement Decision Following Father’s Loss

In a snippet of CSS code, we observe the configuration for a `.vidazoo-player-container` that sets its width to 100% and its height to a calculated value based on a formula. The container’s background color is set to black. The code also includes media queries for maximum width conditions, adjusting the top offset of a floating player within `.vidazoo-container` based on whether the body has a top header or primary navigation, with custom properties handling the offset values. Additionally, there are styles for a `.sk-widget` within the `.vidazoo-container` that apply margins to the top and bottom.

UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement decision, following the loss of his father, resonated with British female mixed martial artist Sammy-Jo Luxton. Luxton, a 25-year-old fighter from Devon, England, expressed her grief over the death of her own father on social media. She empathized with Nurmagomedov’s choice to retire, highlighting the emotional impact of not having her father by her side for future fights. Luxton, known as ‘The Ghetto Cinderella,’ is signed to the PFL and is preparing to compete in the women’s flyweight roster for the upcoming season.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, also known as ‘The Eagle,’ faced a personal tragedy when his father and lifelong coach, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, passed away in July 2020 due to COVID-19 complications. In the fight following his father’s death, Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje and then made the unexpected announcement of his retirement from MMA. He cited the absence of his father and a promise to his mother as the primary reasons for stepping away from the sport.

Arman Tsarukyan, the No.1-ranked lightweight contender, recently made comments regarding Islam Makhachev’s championship, suggesting that Makhachev’s success was largely due to his association with Khabib Nurmagomedov. Tsarukyan critiqued the level of Makhachev’s past opponents and contrasted it with his own, asserting that he had faced tougher fighters. Despite defeating Charles Oliveira at UFC 300 and securing his position as the top contender, Tsarukyan acknowledged that he must wait for his title shot until after Makhachev’s defense against Dustin Poirier at UFC 302.

The discussion continues with a poll asking readers whether they believe Khabib Nurmagomedov was justified in retiring early. The poll presents a simple choice with the options “Yes” or “No,” inviting fans and followers to weigh in on the debate surrounding one of MMA’s most respected fighters and his decision to end his career at the pinnacle of his success.
