UFC 254 Results: Khabib Retires A Champion

1 Comment

Last Saturday, Khabib Nurmagomedov retired as arguably the greatest UFC fighter of all time. At UFC 254 Nurmagomedov was able to retain his UFC World Lightweight title against his opponent, Interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje by a triangle choke submission early in the second round. Nurmagomedov was able to take Gathje down very easily in the second round and got right into the top mount position. From there he skilfully turned that into a triangle choke and put gathje to sleep forcing the official to stop the fight, as Nurmagomedov improved to an undefeated record of 29-0.

Following his victory, Khabib dedicated the fight to his father who recently passed away over the summer and announced that it was his last fight. Prior to the fight, Khabib spoke with his mother and promised her that it was going to be his last fight because she only wants her son to fight with his father in his corner.

There is no doubt that Khabib will not be returning to the UFC without his father here. Following his retirement, this leaves the Lightweight division wide open for a new champion. With quite the stacked weight class, there are many names that could be chosen to potentially fight for the title. Superstars like Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Tony Ferguson, & Justin Gaethje.

Israel Adesanya reminded the world why he’s the middleweight king on Fight Island. UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya came into Saturday night’s title fight with an undefeated 19-0 record. His opponent, Paulo Costa, entered the fight also with an undefeated record of 13-0. And when the UFC 253 main event began and it was time for these two men to put their unbeaten records on the line, Adesanya completely outclassed Costa. And he did so in style, picking the Brazilian apart from the start with kicks to his lead leg, the torso and the head. He slowed Costa down, bloodied him, then finished him in the second round at the 3:59 minute marker. Adesanya was able to show off everything he had.

The light heavyweight title fight between Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz was the co main event in UFC 253. Jan Blachowicz broke Dominick Reyes’ nose during the fight, and then his spirit, on his way to claiming the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 253 with a second-round TKO on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
