"He drinks and smokes." Khabib recalled the fight with Gatji

Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, shared his memories of his fight with the promotion's top lightweight Justin Gaethje.

"I always just think about winning. Why should someone like Justin Gaethje beat me? He's not professional like me. He drinks and smokes. He does what he wants to do. Before the fight I thought: how can he beat me? It's impossible," - quotes Khabib portal MMA Junkie.

Recall, the confrontation between Khabib and Gatji took place in October 2020, ending with the victory of Nurmagomedov with a choke hold. This fight became for Khabib the last in his professional career. At the time of his retirement, the Eagle's record stood at 29-0.
