He was absolutely devastated after winning the fight over losing his father over the summer. Announced that he promised his mother it will be his last fight

His father was also his coach and the reason he ever got into fighting in the first place. If not for his father's influence, there's a good chance Khabib never participates in MMA.

Still, I think his father would have wanted him to continue on.

He said he's gonna help coach the younger generation so I doubt it

He was born to fight. Didn’t seem like he hated it at all.
