Rumours of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s return to the UFC have been flying like jabs in a crowded octagon, but it seems they can finally be retired alongside his undefeated record. Former teammate and current commentator Daniel Cormier dropped a bombshell: Khabib rejected a whopping $40 million offer to come back.

“He said $40 million, the dude said $40 million,” Cormier revealed on his YouTube channel, quoting Khabib directly. “To come back, to fight in the UFC.”
Adding to the finality, Khabib’s coach Javier Mendez shut down any remaining hype. “Stop all this nonsense about Khabib coming back to UFC 300,” he stated. “He’s devoted to his family and not returning.”
With even Dana White confirming Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje for the BMF title at UFC 300, it seems the octagon door for Khabib has locked shut – $40 million key thrown away.
This revelation throws cold water on fight fans’ simmering hope, but also paints a picture of a man content with his post-championship life. Khabib walks away not just from millions, but from the cage itself, leaving a legacy of invincibility and a testament to prioritizing family over fame.
