"I see only women and men. There is no between," he said. "Maybe kids. This is like, it’s crazy."

"First time in my life, couple weeks ago, I was in California [at a coffee shop], I was like, I really wanted to go the bathroom. I was like, ‘Can I go to the bathroom?’ … Two bathrooms, all gender, all gender – I was like, ‘What is this? Where do I have to go?’"

"First time I see it, I stop for like five seconds, and I’m like, ‘Where’s woman, where’s man?’ I knocked on the door … anybody inside? I don’t know, man."

Nurmagomedov, who is from Sildi, which has a population of about 208, said he grew up in a very traditional household.

"I grew up in a very traditional place. It was a very traditional family. I am very happy with this. I’m from big mountains and only have two genders."

Nurmagomedov retired from the Octagon after he defeated Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 to defend and unify the UFC Lightweight Championship. He was 29-0 in his career.
