"I always just think about winning. Why should someone like Justin Gaethje beat me? He's not a 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.
