On January 14, during the ONE Championship match, Yizagakhmayev from the Kitty Hawks team played, but Habib, who was supposed to be in the corner that night, did not appear in the ring.
After the match, ONE Championship CEO Sai Yu Tang said in an interview that when Kitty arrived in Singapore, his state was not good, and then he tested positive in Kitty's nucleic acid test, so he did not go to the scene of the competition, but quarantined at the hotel.

SaiYudo said kitty had been in touch with him and felt bad a few days before kitty arrived in Singapore, but he felt better after that. On the night of the match, Kitty watched the match live at the hotel. Beijing time in the early morning of this morning, Kitty also released a message on his personal social platform, praising the performance of his team athletes, and one championship event, at present, Kitty's mental state has recovered well.
In 2020, Kitty's father died of COVID-19, which also caused a big blow to Kitty (click on the blue word for details). It is also because of the death of his father that Kitty has no intention of fighting in the ring again. In October 2020, after Kitty lowered "Flathead Brother" Gage and defended the UFC Lightweight (70kg) gold belt for the third time, the 31-year-old Kitty announced his retirement with a record of 29 total victories, a decision that also made many martial arts fans regret.

Despite his retirement, Kitty has not left the world of combat, not only founding his own MMA tournament, but also founding his own team, competing in the world's major rings. This time Kitty is infected with the new crown, and I hope that he can recover soon and cultivate more outstanding MMA athletes.
