"Was emotionally very hard". Khabib recalled the fight with Gaethje

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov recalled his last fight in his professional career, in which he faced Justin Gaethje.

"The fight with Gaethje was emotionally very hard. I had a very tough opponent and it wasn't easy to deal with everything. As my father told me a long time ago, all diamonds are born under very intense pressure. If the pressure is there and it doesn't break you, you will become a diamond," said Nurmagomedov at the Class A Events meeting in Canada.

Recall, Khabib's fight with Gaethje took place in October 2020, ending with Nurmagomedov winning by choke hold. After this fight, Khabib ended his fighting career with a record of 29-0.
