Nurmagomedov last fought in October, when he picked up an impressive, second-round submission victory over Justin Gaethje, pushing his record to 29-0 in the process. In his post-fight interview with Jon Anik, Nurmagomedov surprised viewers by announcing his retirement from MMA.<\/p>\n

“This was my last fight,” a visibly emotional Nurmagomedov said.\u00a0“Today’s my last fight in the UFC.”<\/p>\n

Despite this announcement from Nurmagomedov, White has made no secret of the fact that he intends to push<\/a> the Russian to fight again\u2014even if it’s just for one more fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously meeting with him because I think that he should fight again,” White told ESPN recently. “Look at what he did to Justin Gaethje. Look at what he\u2019s done to every opponent he has faced. I think he should fight again and I\u2019m going to press him as hard as I can for one more. ”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a five-minute conversation,\u201d White added in a subsequent interview with MMA Junkie,<\/a> previewing his meeting with Nurmagomedov. \u201cIt\u2019s yes or no. It\u2019s yes or no.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I left Abu Dhabi last time, and Khabib and I were texting, we went back and forth on why I think he should keep fighting,\u201d White added. \u201cHe was super emotional coming out of that fight [with Gaethje]. He\u2019s had time now to rest, think about it, all the other things. This is going to be a five-minute conversation. \u2026 I think he\u2019ll fight, but we\u2019ll see. It\u2019s not going to be an argument or a lengthy conversation. It\u2019s going to be a \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
