Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis admitted that he closely followed the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Al Iaquinta, noting for himself the gaps in the technique of the Russian.
"I was offered a fight with Khabib, but wasn't presented with the contract, so this can not be considered as an official offer. The news of the final choice of an opponent I learned on the Internet. I watched his fight with Iaquinta directly from the ringside, I watch all the fights with the participation of top fighters of lightweight division. Khabib showed his weak points in this fight. I do not know what was the reason. Perhaps, it was because of a heavy weight loss, or he was not ready to spend five rounds at such a high pace. In the final rounds, Iaquinta showed Khabib's weak points," Pettis said.
