I'm sure Khabib is fully loyal to his mother, but, I don't think he necessarily has to be 100% honest to us (and especially Dana White) about his promises to his mother.

He was talking 3-4 days ago about fighting GSP next, and how it was his father's dream that he have that fight. That seems to be a pretty common tactic with the top guys who are set for life and use retirement as a sincere and legitimate leverage - hype up a fight, retire immediately after your next fight, keep promoting fight possibilities on social media.

I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed out, but, I also wouldn't be surprised if he starts talking about GSP again in the next few weeks.
