Sami Zayn Gives Huge Props To Khabib Nurmagomedov After UFC 254 Victory & Retirement

Last night at UFC 254, Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Justin Gaethje to successfully retain the UFC Lightweight Championship.

The Eagle went on to retire from mixed martial arts in his post-fight interview, and while some think he’ll go back on that, many think that the Russian will stick to his word and ride off into the sunset with a perfect 29-0 record.

One man who has been thoroughly impressed with what Khabib has done for the Muslim community is none other than Sami Zayn.

One of the most dominant fighters ever, @TeamKhabib is also a worthy hero for Muslims worldwide. Clearly a man of principle & conviction. It’s been remarkable to see him constantly & unapologetically put his Islamic faith at the fore through all his success. Big respect. #UFC254
