Islam Makhachev Defends Khabib Nurmagomedov After Ronda Rousey’s Criticism

“It’s not true, man. Khabib is a great person,” Makhachev said. Rousey had earlier claimed that fans only praise Nurmagomedov because he retired undefeated & early, before reaching his limit. “He could fight many, many more years, but he listened to his mother. Now we need him to coach.” Khabib stepped away at 29-0 and has since guided champions from cageside.
