MOSCOW, 25 January, 2021 (TON): After impressing the world with his fighting skills in the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), the Russian is up for another venture, football.

The player was known as the eagle during his MMA days, is now seeking to become a footballer. The Russian fighter said that he is a free agent and is ready to accept offers.

The 32 year old, Khabib said that preparing for my football debut, I am a free agent and ready to accept offers.

Last year, Khabib ended his fighting career after his win over Justin Gaethje, improving his record to an unblemished 29-0.

Still just 32, the fans, media personnel and UFC officials have a hunch that he would eventually have a change of heart.

The former fighter, however, says that he will stick to his decision.

"I have no plans to continue fighting," said Khabib in an interview. "There will always be rumors about my comeback because Dana White or other promoters who could replace him in the future will always want me to fight."

By leaving the business in his prime, Khabib is leaving millions of dollars on the table but he says wealth was never the primary reason why he fought.
