History was made yet again last Saturday night when Khabib Nurmagomedov defended his undefeated record as the undisputed UFC lightweight champion of the world. He choked out American interim UFC champion Justin Gaethje in the second round to bring his record to 29-0. What followed the fight was as stunning as the fight itself as Khabib fell to his face weeping, and then announced his retirement from UFC fighting right there on the mat in the octagon. We cover all this and more in depth, from his relationship to his parents to analysis of his final words. The fight was made even more spectacular in light of aspects of the cultural context of the North Caucasus which we unfold for you. Congratulations Khabib Nurmagomedov on an honorable and historic career!
