Khabib Nurmagomedov's early retirement from the UFC means he cannot be considered in the GOAT conversation, according to Hall of Famer Michael Bisping.
Nurmagomedov, 33, opted to walk away from mixed martial arts following his victory over Justin Gaethje last November, citing a vow to his mother as reason for his decision to stop fighting.
The Dagestani star retired with an unblemished record of 29 wins and no defeats, with some fans and pundits labelling Nurmagomedov the greatest fighter to ever set foot in the Octagon.
