Chael Sonnen Says Khabib Nurmagomedov Could’ve Returned To Chase Gold At 170 Lbs

Sonnen believes Khabib, who retired as a lightweight champion, would have returned if offered a bout at welterweight. “It had nothing to do with competition or promises; Khabib was just done weighing 155 lbs,” Sonnen said. He added that a 170-lb offer could have kept him from retiring at 29-0. Sonnen believes this is what prevented Khabib from achieving 30-0.
