"Nobody will be around forever, so it's important to leave at the right time," Khabib said.
"How old is Ronaldo? 34? At 35 he won't have the same conditioning and reaction time. It doesn't matter if it's Cristiano or Khabib, people will come and take your place.
"My advice to him, and to me as well, is to leave at the right time.
"If you don't, you'll be left as there'll be new champions, younger, hungrier, more motivated guys. You won't have the motivation you've had at the beginning of your career towards its end."
