Khabib Nurmagomedov recently showed respect to the famous champion of UFC Demetrious Johnson on his retirement. Nurmagomedov himself went through this way in his prime era, and he knows how hard it is to swallow this pill. Johnson gave an emotional speech in the middle of the Octagon, which got a lot of attention on social media platforms. Nurmagomedov not only spoke good words about Johnson but also about his old rival Tony Ferguson when he decided to retire, but in return, Ferguson did not show respect back to the Dagistani. The ‘ONE’ champion has not yet reacted to the good words he had for him.

Legendary Story of Demetrious Johnson
Initially, there were no signs of Johnson’s future in MMA, and he had no idea what was awaiting him when he began practicing MMA training only as a hobby. But two years later he got an invitation to the AMC Pankration gym located in Washington, where he met with Matt Hume, who arranged his first fight in MMA. He climbed up the ladder and began to fight fully.
In his prime, he was knocked out badly in the final fight against Moraes, but a year later he got his revenge. He knocked out Moraes with a flying knee and thus took his belt. Johnson also won the third bout, and the series was scored 3–0 in his favor, and thus the series was concluded.
