UFC middleweight Darren Till recently took to social media to tease that he called Khabib Nurmagomedov's mother regarding a UFC comeback.
Everyone's hoping for a Khabib Nurmagomedov return, even his fellow UFC fighters.
The reigning UFC lightweight champion stunned the mixed martial arts world by announcing his retirement after successfully defending his title against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 back in October.
Since then, questions have swirled with regards to Khabib Nurmagomedov's real status. Is he really retired? Is he coming back?
Different people within the community have their own opinions and predictions. UFC president Dana White himself believes that the undefeated Russian is coming back for win number 30.
Others, like Darren Till, just want to see 'The Eagle' back in the UFC.
The outspoken former welterweight title contender took to social media - as always - to give his two cents regarding Khabib Nurmagomedov's current situation:
For context, during his retirement speech, Nurmagomedov stated that he promised his mother that he would retire after the Gaethje fight.
Once again, Darren Till comes up with the perfect social media post for the occasion.
Till is currently recovering from an injury that forced him to pull out of his scheduled fight against Jack Hermansson at UFC Vegas 16 this weekend.

As it turns out, we might have an answer regarding Khabib Nurmagomedov's status soon enough.
