Khabib’s speech after the fight, translation from Russian: “and now for my fans, and it would not be quite right to say ‘to my fans from Russia’, so let’s say ‘to all Russian speakers’, thank you so much, when I started all of this in 2008, and when I signed up for UFC and had the first fight in 2012, many didn’t believe in me, many thought it would be impossible. I’m a simple guy from a regular village in the mountain of Dagestan, who came over here. Just yesterday my brother told me: ‘according to Google, you’re the most discussed person on the planet’, I simply couldn’t believe it, because if you can imagine, I never had any of this on my mind, it was just my father and I dreaming of becoming a champion one day. I could never have imagined so much could happen to me. If you have parents, be close to them, and that’s it. I have only one parent left, my mother. I would like to dedicate more time to her”.

Sending a prayer to Khabib and his family. Very moved by who he is. Was chocked up watching him weep for his father after the fight. He was showing us that tenderness is part of strength and he embodies greatness in and out of the ring like Ali did. Have a feeling that we will see Khabib step deeper into the role of helping the human family overcome its differences and divisions that come from listening and acting on the shallow impulses of the discriminating mind. The great teachers of humanity show us that we are so much MORE than our shallow thinking. Think Khabib's true strength was his ability to be still n relaxed and rooted in a deeper KNOWLEDGE of himself in full chaos of a fight. He brought his faith.. his father... the mountains and the heart of his culture into each moment inside the cage and this in my opinion is why no one could break him. We love you Khabib and we are proud and honored to bare witness to your journey and feel better and more fuller versions of ourselves for having seen it! Alhamdulillah!

The Khabib style reminds me of a phrase by Bruce Lee, when he said that he did not fear the opponent who trained several blows, but the opponent who trained the same blow several times. He has used the same technique all his life in his fights, in a precise, insistent and aggressive way that no one has ever resisted. He never let himself be pressured, and he never allowed striking blows on him. Really a big Champion.

I'm very impressed...i have kept humility a major part of this encounter...i had all respect ...admiration ...support and humility as a long time fan of this sport....i went as a group for the fight between him and McGregor and was a huge Connor fan but also a very respectful fan of khabib also....mostly because of the aspect of humility he incorporated from his entire approach to every match he was involved in...his dedication ...humility...faith and state of mind has been his chariot he has ridden upon his entire career...i have the utmost respect for this man and his ideology...i ....being such a long time fan purposely withheld my opinion for the most part because I just appreciate the power of kabobs mental focus and understood that the hype for this encounter needed a subjective attitude from all fans to cause this match to live up to its true potential...it was so complex a situation when factoring in status ...experience...ratings... Socioeconomic position...core belief...and basically complete legitimacy to oneself like we as fans have never seen....i gave Justin all the support and benifit a warrior could ever expect from a true organic lover of real ...legitimate ...advocate of competition to award the honour of truly the best a warrior can be....i was not the consummate advocate of one fighter over the other between these two...rather I believed that khabib and a portion of his thought process and mastery of his abilities was operating in a different reality than anyone he would or could ever face....i take nothing away from Justin's effort and applaud his attempt both physical and mental...as he is a strong being in many aspects he was beaten today from a position that wasn't necessarily the physical matchup....but was overwhelmed by a force that was operating in more ways than he was able to defend....i think this fight answers so many questions ....ones that were fun to entertain in the moment....but questions that most people knew deep down that there's a force that drives khabib that transcends training and physicality

Sounded like DC was holding back tears in the beginning. Must be thinking about the lost of his father as well

[@ismailshuaibu6056]

Khabib is a Legend 💪💪

[@lakshmipam8215]

DC... Heart broken💔..... He's brother khabib 😍😍😍

[@DaFonz808]

Khabib fought to spend time with his father. His father is gone and now it's time for him to look after the family. What a career though. Best wishes to him and his family.

[@thatoneoverthere8427]

Khabib was always great .. wish him all the best in his future too.. you and your father are in our hearts ❤️

[@keyvanvlogs9907]

He thanks all his Russian speaking fans. And said that he's just a simple guy from a small village in Dagestan and when it all began he couldn't even imagine how far he would go. He didn't think of that, he simply wanted to be a champion. And at the end he said that if you have parents, be with them. Now he only has his mother left and he would like to spend more time with her.

[@koolk2115]

This is one of the most honorable actions I've witnessed from a true human being. 29-0. The best! God Bless.

[@baboonsareevil]

This also shows how important it is to be a part of your kids life, the responsibility of being a parent and how it's your job to be the best mom or dad you can be.

[@mockiemockiz]

yeah everyone has been saying khabib is lucky to have father like abdulmanap but do we have ever ask ourselve that "am I a good father like abdulmanap" or "am i a good son/daughter like khabib". abdulmanap is good father and khabib is good son that obey and listen what his father told him.

[@sarfraz6931]

A real role model for us all. A great champion and a great human. He is humble in victory and respectful.

[@rifqiahmed688]

Daniel comier getting very emotional ....because of khabib retirement they are best friends and teammates in the world

[@mrogic6757]

A career most will only ever dream of, hats off to Justin Gaethje as well- no trash talk and appreciated sharing the octagon.

[@d7adict]

Khabib has nothing else to prove in the sport. He has established himself as the GOAT. No one can beat him today in his category

[@jessiemarquez1976]

Humble man will be miss🙏🏼🙏🏼✌🏼

[@Abdihalayay-yc6fq]

The brotherhoodness b/n khabib and DC is really priceless ❤❤👑👑

[@samratupadhyay9920]

Wasn't a fan from the beginning. But he grew on me and wow what a role model for every youngster around the world. Never arrogant but always confident and focused. A true gentleman and disciple of the craft.His mere presence won half the battle. My man retired and the sport will never be the same for me. The 🦅 has flown to greater heights...

[@yanchand3603]

Khabib : "DC I Love you brother"

[@BrokeBoy91]

My ocd wants him to win one more

[@dreadveil]

For real hahaha

[@Mr_Nibblesworth]

4 more

[@TroubleOnTheWaters]

Seriously, like just beat one more runt so you can even that record up!

[@farhanmehmood8760]

My ocd says hello 🖐️

[@GTanya07]

my heart so empty right now, i mean everyone talked about his next opponents even he's not fight Justin yet, and now suddenly he said he retired, it just so sad you know and shocking as well

[@73lube]

Not only does he retire P4P #1, but also the most loved and respected by fans, other fighters and rivals. That's extremely hard to earn all of those titles. Khabib did it. Incredible legacy.

[@sam7ta]

Khabib is a good human being with moral values, something which this crazy material world is forgetting today. He is definitely a good example for everyone to follow and learn from!! God Bless Khabib 🙏🙏

[@CeylonDiscoveryChannel]

The greatest of all time (G.O.A.T)🐐Phenomenal champion but even a better man❤️ ThankYou For Your Legacy!👏🏻👑🏆 Love from Sri Lanka!🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

[@ecw787]

I'm happy he has retired on top and with his health intact. Dana gonna me be hella mad.

[@PoeticSonic]

not really, it sounds like khabib broke his foot 3 weaks ago and Dana was just happy that he was actually was able to fight.

[@Orghoroth]

He got khamzat ready. There is always some one next in line.

@Jason K Your boy got smashed...

[@timodoren2281]

@Jason K 100x lol Wasn't enough that he smashed your boi, now you're gonna continue with the delusion ? Go look at the numbers Khabib has brought in for this fight and reconsider how stupid your comment is in hindsight. SMDH.

[@juanstepbehind]

Why are the talking about McGregor? Let the man have his moment

[@BarsofSak]

@Jason K Khabib will live in his head rent free forever 😂😂

@Jason K Who even cares about that guy anymore. Isn't he dead or something.

[@carlstokes9834]

The comment section feels a little light this evening!! Oh yeah, the casuals who were saying Justin's wrestling was comparable to Khabib's are watching NASCAR and Wyoming vs Nevada college football right now!

[@centurion722]

@Gucci Fendi Everybody gangsta until they face Khabib. But mad respect to Justin for trying. Also, Justin Gaethje never competed in the Olympics.

[@danoneall4013]

@Gucci Fendi - what kind of false facts are you spitting

[@merlinoner]

Khabib the best pound for pound. Incredible performance, incredible career, what a legend.

[@goodmantruth8185]

Khabib brought back the real martial art spirit to MMA. Respect Master Khabib !!!

[@hassanalsouqi3024]

[@rashidadan5709]

Alhamdullillah 😍❤️ khabib 29🥇💯💯🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@Unknownuser-v8o]

He truly have nothing to prove he cleaned the whole lightweight division. I would’ve like to see him go 30-0 but its whats best for him.

[@hwhwakra657]

Idk man, 29 is an annoying number for me 😂 i want him to go one more and even the number out, but i understand and respect his reasoning

[@Love-ng3kn]

I wanna see the tony and khabib fight to be his last fight

[@aslanieunda6447]

@Gucci Fendi maybe her mother will permits him after 2 or 3 years, agree??

[@aslanieunda6447]

@Jonathan Jimenez the lightweight to beat khabib hasn't been born yet, trust me

@Jonathan Jimenez are you filipino?

This man was a true inspiration to everyone. May God bless him.

The most charismatic full of class Values , Honour, dignity and character of a champion I have ever seen in all sports. Bravo 👏 Alhumdulilah ☝️
