“A person is gradually wasting his psychological resource and can no longer find motivation.
The fire of rivalry is still burning in me, I want to compete, compete with the leading fighters of the world, to prove that I am the best at the moment.
In addition, you need to feed yourself, because you are constantly giving away some of the energy, which can be difficult to replenish.
But everything is in the head.
If you allow yourself to relax, the brain will not give a command to the body, the body.
And the body can handle anything.
I'll leave as soon as I feel it's time, "Nurmagomedov said in an interview with UFC Russia.
The 32-year-old fighter has 28 victories and not a single defeat in his professional career in MMA.
His next fight will take place on October 24 in Abu Dhabi as part of the UFC 254 tournament. Nurmagomedov's rival will be the interim lightweight champion American Justin Gaji.
Earlier it was reported that Nurmagomedov wants to leave the sport with the rank of undefeated UFC champion.
