Part 8/11:
As some fighters opt to lavish in success, others make a choice to step back when the time is right. Khabib Nurmagomedov presents a different narrative; he prioritized his family and personal responsibility over the allure of further bouts, leaving the octagon while still on top. His calculated decision to retire underscores the importance of stepping away at an optimal time, contrasting sharply with the tragic fates of many who remain ensnared by the cage.
In stark contrast, fighters like Dustin Poirier ponder retirement only to find themselves irresistibly drawn back into the fray, unable to resist the call of the octagon. The cycle of competition remains deeply ingrained in their psyche, often leading them to ill-fated returns.
